how do you find your exact positopn when at sea - school homework help!?

With a sextent.  Taking a line of the moon when ever it can be seen.  ie early morning at night.  Satilites are also used.  If satilites are broken the sextent is the real true way.

its not a formula.  its not something that if you do certain thing, it will happen.  its a feel, a bond between two people that just happens.  Just be patient and open minded and you're day will come soon.  (and you should do your homework without the help of others!!!)

When you want to go to work/school/college or any where?\nBefore leaving don't you have a mental map? without that you can not reach to your destination.\n\nSame applies in our life. Better do not resist, float like a water. But keep control. Enjoy life. \nBecoming a captain means nothing there is a big difference between a good captain and a normal captain. In the open sea of life there are Typhoon and Thunder storm. I am sure a good captain can sail even in that kind of a situation.\n\nBe a master of your life, learn how to navigate life and explore the Ocean of Life which is full of Miracles.\n\nnihon94@yahoo.com

a globe should have the lat and long markings on them and lines that follow them.\nyou can also use google earth and scroll around until you hit that.

This is not the sort of thing that can easily be explained online! Find a friend or someone who can give you a short practical lesson.\nThe main things to know are - the scale of the map and what the key means, e.g. blue = water

the very fundamental: the human body floats in the water, try this yourself by staying calm (and don't cheat by stepping on the bottom! lol). then slowly try to move your hands and feet in order to push your body towards one direction. Needs a tiny bit of practice but you'll get it. It's very easy! good luck!

You mean find "g" as if you didn't know the constant? Okay.\n\nPretty simply really. Have the height measured that you're going to drop it from to where it's going to land (this will be your "h"). Make it a high one (one meter is enough). Measure the mass of the object (that's the "w"). Then when you do the experiment, time it. Start it at the instant you let it drop and stop it once it touches where ever it lands. That's enough information to find "g." Just solve for "g" then that would be the answer.\n\nActually, for an experiment, you should solve for "g" as a formula before you start doing anything else. So the formula would be like this:\n\ng = (2h)/[(t^2)(w)]\n\n(t^2 is "t squared")\n\nSo just have that formula then do the experiment: measure height of the drop, the mass of the object, then time it when you drop it (you need good reflexes when you drop it, as it falls fast).\n\nPS Penguins!!!

Iam not getting the link. Kindly paste the Qn.\n\nAnswer is approx. 774.474Km, due 70 degrees NE from the starting point.\n\nDraw it in X-Y coordinate system with distances and resp angles.\n\nNow, there are two parts, top & bottom.\n\nBottom is a right triangle with Altitude=300, and angles 90, 10 and 80 degrees.\n\n300xTan10=length of the shortest side=52.898\nNow find the hypotenuse using pythogaras theorem\nHence the third side = Sqrt(52.898^2+300^2) = 304.628\n\nThis is the distance of the bottom part.\n\nNow tosolve the top part, x=500 Sin 70= 469.846.\n\nThis is the distance of the top part.\n\nNow add these, 469.846+304.628 = 774.474 is the distance of the ship from the starting point.

If I'm reading your description right, I think your first boat is heading up and to the right ("direction N.68 degrees E") making an angle of 68 degrees with north, or 22 degrees with east.  And I think your second boat is headed directly east ("S.90 degrees E").  So I'm assuming that they form a triangle, with one angle being 22 degrees and another one being a 90 degree angle, since we're looking for the point where one boat will be directly south of the other.\n\nThe first boat traveled 12t miles so far.  The second boat left an hour later and traveled 16(t-1) miles.\n\nThe first boat's path turns out to be the hypotenuse of the triangle, and the second boat's path will be one of the adjacent legs to the 22 degree angle.  So we can set up an equation with trig identities:\n\ncos 22 = 16(t-1)/12t\n0.9272 = 4(t-1)/3t\n2.7816t = 4t - 4\n4 = 1.2184t\nt = 3.3 hours\n\nSo after 3.3 hours, one boat will be directly south of the other.\n\nFinding that distance can be done one of several ways: using the Pythagorean theorem, sine relationships, law of cosines, etc.  I'll use sine, since we're already doing trig.  After 3.3 hours, the northernmost boat will have traveled 39.6 miles.  The distance between the boats becomes our side opposite the 22 degree angle.  So,\n\nsin 22 = distance between/39.6\ndistance = 39.6sin 22\n= 14.83 miles\n\nNow if I read the angle wrong, then simply go back and change all the "22" angles to the correct one and recalculate.

by using cosine law, you can calculate easily the magnitude of the ship.\n(a^2+b^2)-2abcos(q)\n840^2+960^2-(2*840*960*0.81)\n=320832 lbs\nFor the direction, i need to see the question. It would be the opposite of the other's directions.

The first link below lists all Great Lakes shipwrecks and much of the data about the ship, cargo, crew and passengers, but no coordinates.\n\nThe second link is for the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum which is at the Whitefish Point Lighthouse where the Edmund Fitzgerald capsized in 1975. When we toured there a few summers back, the staff were quite helpful. Perhaps they could point you to where you could get the coordinates specifics that you seek.

to locate a place, you need to know it's gedesic coordinates:longitude,latitude and height over MSL(mean sea level).MSL is not the same everywhere, each country decides wich level is it: it's defined after tide gauge, the average level is the MSL, tou must also know that different seas don't have the same level. \nHeight over MSL is defined by different surveying techniques: it can be GPS measurements, main levelling or geometric levelling (wich gives elevation accordingly to a height-known point).\nIf cartesians coordinates are used (X,Y,Z),it is more simple because you need to know distance from earth's center, you don't need to know sea level.

There are many ways for you to find the passenger list of the ship. I have searched for that ship for your case, but I have found none that match the date and the complete list of names. I am sorry, but here is a way to help minimize your search and help you look into lists and be sure of its accuracy:\n\nhttp://home.att.net/%7Earnielang/ship05.html
