The initial great circle track from B to A is 245°(T) and the rhumb line track from A to B is 060°(T). If the mean latitude between A and B is 53° and the longitude of B is 02°15’E, what is the longitude of A? kindly explain
GCT @ B 245d A B RLT 060d GCT @ B for route from A to B = 245 -180 = 065d GCT - RLT = CA CA = 065-060 = 5d CA = 1/2 Conv thus Conv = 10d mean Lat = 53d Conv = CHLong x Sin mean Lat 10 = CHLong x Sin 53 CHLong = 10/Sin 53 CHLong = 12d 31m 17s Longitude B = 2d 15mE from B to A track 245d that means we are travelling to the west Longitude A = 2d15mE - 12d 31m 17s Longitude A = -10d 16' 17sE (to normalize negative longitude just change the sign from E to W or vice versa) Thus Longitude A = 10d 16' 17sW Hope this help
Can i get this answer with explanation bro? If the GC bearing of N from M is 280* and the GC bearing from M from N is 094* , What is the RL bearing of M from N?
Hello @PrAtYa PaWaR GC Bearing N from M 280° meaning you are looking toward N from M. That mean N is to the west of M. GC Bearing M from N 094° meaning you are looking toward M from N. That mean M is to the east of N. 094° ---------------------------------------> N M N M
