On the INS mechanical platform why are there 4 gimbals?

• to prevent the platform from locking up

• to allow for 4 degrees of movement

• to keep the platform aligned to the horizon

• to allow for Coriolis correction

what is the formula for angular velocity?

which corrective factor is due to movement across lines of longitude?

• Rate of transport

• Earth’s rate of rotation

• Coriolis effect

• Earth’s anomalies

which corrective factor is affected by what line of latitude you are on?

• Rate of transport

• Earth’s rate of rotation

• Coriolis effect

• Earth’s anomalies
