EXERCISE-26

1. On 6^th March 1992, AM at ship in DR 00⁰ 00’ 60⁰ 50’W, the sextant altitude of the Moon’s UL was 44⁰ 28’9 at 02h 44m 48s chron time (error 11m 16s fast). If HE was 15m and IE was 0.4’ off the arc, find the direction of the PL and a position through which it passes.

Solution –

2. On 30^th Nov 1992, PM at ship in DR 27⁰ 45’S 140⁰ 20’W, the observed altitude of the Moon’s UL was 40⁰8’ at 11h 10m 08s chron time (error 00m 02s slow). If HE was 10m, find the intercept and the direction of the PL.

Solution –

3. On 1^st Sept 1992, PM at ship in DR 20⁰ 58’N 120⁰ 19’W the sextant altitude of the Moon’s LL was 33⁰ 6’ at 02h 35m 55s chron time (error 07m 28s slow). If IE was 0.3’ find the intercept and the PL.

Solution –

4. On 22^nd Sept 1992, AM at ship in DR 10⁰ 02’S 76⁰ 50’E, the sextant altitude of the Moon’s LL was 44⁰7’ at 00h 17m 21s chron time (error 07m 28s slow). If IE was 0.6’ on the arc and HE was 14m, find the intercept and PL.

Solution –

5. On 25^th Feb 1992, AM at ship in DR 35⁰ 03’S 87⁰ 11’E, the observed altitude of the Moon’s UL was 46⁰5’ at 03h 16m 26s chron time (error 05m 06s fast). If HE was 18m, find the direction of the PL and the intercept.
