Town A is located at \(6^{\circ}00' \text{N}, 7^{\circ}00' \text{E}\) and Town B at \(5^{\circ}30' \text{N}, 8^{\circ}30' \text{E}\). The straight‑line distance between the two towns is approximately \(175\) km. Assuming \(1^{\circ}\) of latitude equals \(111\) km and \(1^{\circ}\) of longitude equals \(111\cos\bar{\phi}\) km, where \(\bar{\phi}\) is the mean latitude of the two towns, find the latitude of a point C that lies on the line AB and is \(120\) km from Town A.
