    Plumb Bob Problem at 34.5° North Latitude

    A plumb bob does not hang exactly along a line directed to the center of the Earth's rotation. How much does the plumb bob deviate from a radial line at 34.5° north latitude? Assume that the Earth is spherical. I have no idea where to go or what to do. Thanks
