Problem 34GP
Global positioning satellites (GPS) can be used to determine position with great accuracy. The system works by determining the distance between the observer and each of several satellites orbiting Earth. If one of the satellites is at a distance of 20,000 km from you, what percent accuracy in the distance is required if we desire a 2-meter uncertainty? How many significant figures do we need to have in the distance?
