Question 1001Navigation General
70% to passYou are enroute to assist vessel A. Vessel A is underway at 6 knots on course 133°T, and bears 343°T at 92 miles from you. What is the course to steer at 9 knots to intercept vessel A?
A
356°
B
003°
C
038°
D
022°
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 003°. To determine the course to steer to intercept vessel A, we need to calculate the relative bearing and course to intercept. Given that vessel A is on a course of 133°T and bearing 343°T at 92 miles, we can use basic trigonometry to calculate the course to steer. The relative bearing of vessel A is 343°T - 133°T = 210°. Using this relative bearing and the distance of 92 miles, we can calculate the course to steer as 003°, which is the correct answer. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the course needed to intercept vessel A based on the provided information.
