Question 79Navigation Problems

The correct answer is D) 1857. To determine the ZT of sunset, we need to calculate the sun's position based on the vessel's location and course. Given: - Latitude: 26°11.5'N - Longitude: 65°35.0'W - Course: 270°T - Speed: 12 knots Using the sun's position tables or nautical almanac, the ZT of sunset at the vessel's location on 5 May is 1857. The other options are incorrect because: A) 1840 is too early, as the sun would not have set by that time. B) 1901 is too late, as the sun would have already set by that time. C) 1825 is too early, as the sun would not have set by that time.
