The true value of angle of dip at a place is $60^ \circ $ , the apparent dip in a plane inclined at an angle of $ 30^ \circ $ with magnetic meridian is.
$ tan \phi ' = { tan \phi \over cos \beta } $ $where \phi' = Apparent angle of dip $ $ = { tan 60 ^ \circ \over cos 60 ^ \circ } $ $ \phi = True angle of dip $ $ tan \phi' = 2 $ $ \beta = Angle made by vertical plane with magnetic meridian $ $ \phi' = tan^{-1} (2) $
