Question 30Navigation Problems
70% to passOn 13 August your 0345 ZT DR position is LAT 21°35.0' N, LONG 135°26.0'W. You are on course 052°T at a speed of 14 knots. What will be the zone time of sunrise at your vessel?
A
0443
B
0449
C
0536
D
0540
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 0536. To determine the zone time of sunrise, we need to calculate the local time of sunrise at the vessel's location and then convert it to the zone time. Given information: - Position: LAT 21°35.0' N, LONG 135°26.0'W - Course: 052°T - Speed: 14 knots Using the position and the sunrise/sunset tables, we can determine the local time of sunrise at the vessel's location, which is 0536. This local time is then converted to the zone time (ZT) by adding the appropriate time zone offset, which in this case is 0 hours (since the longitude is in the same time zone). The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the zone time of sunrise at the vessel's location.
