Activity 3 Problem Set

This document contains a problem set with 4 navigation problems. Problem 1 asks to determine conventional and reciprocal bearings given a true bearing. Problem 2 asks for the return bearing between two points given the original bearing. Problem 3 asks for the horizontal and vertical components of a pulling force. Problem 4 asks to find the magnitude and direction of a third displacement using graphical and analytical methods, given the details of 3 displacements of a ship encountering changing wind currents.

ACTIVITY 3: PROBLEM SET

NAME: SAN JOAQUIN, EDCHIE M. SECTION: BSMARE 3B1 RATING:______


DATE PERFORMED: 03/18/21 DATE SUBMITTED: 03/19/21

1. If the true bearing is 316o T as shown below, determine:

a. conventional bearing: 316o


b. reciprocal bearing: 44 o

2. A ship sails from A to B on a bearing of 120° T. On what bearing will it have to


sail to return from B to A?

The ship have to sail on a bearing of 300o to return back from B to A.

3. If the man is pulling the box with a force of magnitude 98 N and if the angle of
the rope above the horizontal is 30o, determine the:
a. horizontal component of the pulling force.
b. vertical component of the pulling force.

Given:
F = 98 N
θ = 30o

horizontal component of the pulling force ( F H ):


F H = F cos θ
F H = 98 N (cos 90 o)
FH = 0

vertical component of the pulling force ( FV ):


FV = F sin θ
FV = 98 N (sin 3 0 o)
FV = 49 N

4. In one of his adventures, Captain Philipps aboard a small raft encountered


rapidly changing wind current. He sailed 5km, W, then 4km, W 25 o N, then after
another displacement, he found himself 10km directly east of where he started.
Find the magnitude and direction of the third displacement using:
a. graphical method
b. analytical method

graphical method:

C
