Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Task number: A1.1, A1.7 Topic: Celestial Navigation, Compass - Magnetic and Gyro Activ Determine compass error (magnetic and gyro) using azimuth choosing a suitable celestial body (Sun/ Stars/ Planets/ Moon). Apply variation to find the deviation of the magnetic compass. Minimum number of times that activity should be recorded: 6 (2 each phase) Sample calculation (Azimuth- Planets): On 06th May 2006 at 22h20m 10s UTC, a vessel in position 48°00'N 050°00'E observed Mars bearing 327° by compass. Find the compass error. If variation was 4.0° East, calculate the deviation. GHA Mars (06d 22h): Increment (20m 10s): 089° 55.7' 005° 02.5' v (0.9): (+) 00.3' GHA Mars: 094° 58.5' Longitude (E): (+) 050° 00.0' (plus- since longitude is easterly) LHA Mars: 144° 58.5' Declination (06d 22h): d (0.2): N 024° 18.6' (-) 00.1' Declination Mars: N 024° 18.5' P=144° 58.5' (If LHA<180°, P=LHA) A Tan Latitude/ Tan P A Tan 48° 00' Tan 144° 58.5' A = 1.584646985 N (A is named opposite to latitude, except when…

Activ Determine compass error using amplitude (Sun). Minimum number of times that activity should be performed: 3 (1 each phase) Sample calculation (Amplitude- Sun): On 07th May 2006 at Sunset, a vessel in position 10°00'N 010°00'W observed the Sun bearing 288° by compass. Find the compass error. LMT Sunset: LIT: (+) 00d 07d 18h 00h 13m 40m UTC Sunset: 07d 18h 53m (added- since longitude is westerly) Declination (07d 18h): N 016° 55.5' d (0.7): (+) 00.6' Declination Sun: N 016° 56.1' Sin Amplitude = Sin Declination/Cos Latitude = Sin 016°56.1'/ Cos 10°00' = 0.295780189 Amplitude=W17.2N (The prefix of amplitude is named easterly if body is rising, and westerly if body is setting. The suffix is named same as declination) True Bearing=287.2° Compass Bearing= 288.0° Compass Error = 0.8° West
