What was the Greenwich sidereal time in radians on 3 June 19
What was the Greenwich sidereal time in radians on 3 June 1970 at 17h 00m and 00s UT? What is the remainder over an integer number of revolutions? I know the answer is 970.171487 radians but I do not know how to get there.
Solution
in clock every sec we have one revolution
for every 1 minute we have one revolution
for every hour we have one revolution
the total number of revolutions = 17*60*60
=61200 degree
now we have to convert it into radians
number of radans= degree * pi/180
=61200*3.141 /180
= 1067 revolutions
