Question

Clark 1866 reference ellipsoid has a semi-major axis a=6378206.4m and semi-minor axis b=6356583.8m. Its translation components from the geo-centre have been estimated to be X₀= –25.82m, Y₀=168.10m and Z_o=167.31m. A terrain station P has the following geodetic coordinates: f=43° 46’ 33.105”N, l=280° 11’ 26.993”E and h=263.26m. Compute the geocentric Cartesian coordinates x, y, z, of station P.
