    The captain of a ship wrote down the formula d=phd=p\sqrt h in his log book for the distance to the horizon. Unfortunately, the number pp got blurred. dd denotes the distance to the horizon in kilometers, and hh stands for the height of the eyes of the observer above sea level in metres. Determine a value of pp that provides a practicable formula. (Use 6370 km for the radius of the Earth.)
