When was the first hydraulic press used?
One recalls reading somewhere ( World Alamanac?) that the Montgolfier brothers- better known as Balloon inventors, devised a ( Hydraulic Ram) that was something like an inverted siphon, and at least a forerunner of the hydraulic press.This would have been in the eighteenth century, about the time of ( and it was a lengthy one, Benjamin Franklin). The Montgolfiers were French. Name has nothing to do with Golf.
What is your latitude if the noon sun is 44 degrees above your southern horizon on November 17?
To answer the question with any real accuracy, you would also need to know the precise TIME, in GMT, of local apparent noon, because on November 17 each year, the Sun is apparently moving to the south at 0.6 minutes per hour. You will need a copy of the Nautical Alamanac, in order to look up the declination of the Sun at each hour. The link to the online Nautical Almanac is below. If you observe the Sun at an elevation of 44 degrees at local apparent noon, then your latitude is 90 minus your sextant reading minus your south declination or plus your north declination. At noon GMT on November 17, 2011, the Sun is at 18 degrees, 57.7 minutes south declination. I'll round it off to 19 degrees, since neither the time nor the elevation in this question is all that precise anyway. So, 90 - 44 is 46 degrees, minus 19 equals your latitude of 27 degrees north.
What is the value of a 1975 Cincinnati Reds ticket stub?
Vintage baseball tickets stubs for all teams from this era in general are worth about $20.-$25. Condition is important. Rips, crease, stains and fading could bring the price down significantly. With ticket stubs if the stub was not torn cleanly it will effect the price as will if the stub was stapled to a program (holes) which is a common practice.Ticket stubs from baseball games that feature special events or player milestones are highly sought after by collectors. Special events such as opening day, inaugural games, last game at a Stadium, play-offs, World Series, etc. Player milestones can include 500 home runs, 300 win, or any record breaking event.There is a large community of collectors that collect tickets stubs of baseball games when a noted player hits a Home Run. Record breaking Players such as Mantle, Mays Aaron, and now players like Alex Rodriguez who have a shot at hitting 500, 600 home runs or more. Tickets/stubs from these games are very desirable, and will bring top dollar if a collector needs this ticket to complete their set.Try to find the box score of the game played on the date your ticket stub is from. Look for a player milestone for a noted player both on the Reds, and the team they played For more information on vintage baseball ticket stubs visit the link I left below.
If the angle of the sun is 55 degrees at noon what is your latitude?
You will need to know the date, in order to look up (or calculate) the declination of the Sun, which is its position north or south of the equator. You can look this up in the Nautical Almanac or it can be calculated. See link below. It is also essential that your watch or chronometer be set EXACTLY to the correct time. It's helpful to have your watch set to GMT or Greenwich Mean Time. That way, you don't have to figure out your time zone. On the Equinox dates - about March 21 and September 21 (plus or minus one day because of the cycle of leap years) - the Sun's declination is zero. On June 21, the Summer Solstice, the declination is 23 degrees, 26 minutes 22seconds north, and on December 21 it is the same distance south of the equator. You also must measure the elevation of the Sun not at 12:00PM according to your watch, but at the "local apparent noon", the time when the Sun reaches its maximum elevation in the sky. Your latitude is 90 - (the angle of the Sun) - (declination). Today is September 1, 2009. I will measure Sun's elevation at the Local Apparent Noon or "LAN". (By the way, I will note the exact time of LAN on my watch, set to GMT. I will look up, in the Nautical Almanac, the "GHA" or Greenwich Hour Angle and I will be able to interpolate between the published numbers and find my exact longitude as well as the latitude.) Let's say that I measure the LAN elevation and note that the elevation is 55 degrees at 17:28 GMT. (I need to measure this to the precise SECOND for real accuracy.) I can go into the Nautical Alamanac and note that at 17:00 the GHA is 75 degrees 1.6 minutes and at 18:00 the GHA is 90 degrees 1.8 minutes. The Sun travels at 15 degrees per hour or 4 minutes per degree. So at 17:28 precisely, the GHA was 82 degrees 1.7 minutes. So the declination of the Sun was about 8 degrees, 2.5 minutes North. If the Sun was at EXACTLY 55 degrees above the horizon at LAN on 9/1/09, then my latitude is 90 - 55 - 8 degrees 1.5 minutes, or 26 degrees 58.5 minutes north. So my position is 26 degrees 58.5 minutes north, 82 degrees 1.7 minutes West. In other words, I'm just east of Port Charlotte, Florida. I'll need to be careful about the alligators! There are two things you will need to do celestial navigation. One is a good sextant, which is the tool you use to measure the angle of the Sun above the horizon. The second is a VERY accurate watch. If your watch is off by a minute, your position will be off by at least a quarter-mile. In the old days of sailing ships, clocks were chancy at best; after all, you couldn't use a pendulum clock aboard a bobbing ship at sea! It isn't surprising that the British Admiralty offered a fortune to the inventor who could build a clock that could keep time at sea.
