On 16 March your 0330 ZT DR position is LAT 22°36.0'S, LONG 76°16.0'E. You are on course 098°T at a speed of 16 knots. What will be the ZT of sunrise at your vessel?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) 0553.
To determine the time of sunrise at the vessel's position, we need to calculate the local time based on the given latitude, longitude, and course information.
The vessel's position at 0330 ZT is LAT 22°36.0'S, LONG 76°16.0'E. Using the formula for local time calculation, and assuming the vessel is following UTC (Zulu) time, the time of sunrise at the vessel's position is 0553 ZT.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the time of sunrise based on the vessel's position and course.
