3.Two sounding ships left port A to port B with the faster ship making a stop at another port C
and stayed there for 3 days to load sounding equipments before proceeding to port B. The
slower ship left port A two days after the first ship left. They arrived port B at the same time.
Port A is at longitude 121deg14’E and latitude 14deg25’ E, port B lies at the equator with
longitude 105deg24’E and port C is at longitude 108deg32’ latitude 11deg15’ N. Determine the
speed of the faster ship if the other is cruising at a speed of 12 knots. Assume one minute of arc
equals one nautical mile and one nautical mile per hour equals one knot. *
