Question 1962Navigation General

The correct answer is D) 90°00'W. The time meridian used when computing the height of tide or the velocity of the current for Pensacola Bay, FL, is 90°00'W, which is the standard time meridian for the Central Time Zone in the United States. This is the appropriate time meridian to use for tide and current predictions in Pensacola, as it is located in the Central Time Zone. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent the standard time meridian for the Central Time Zone. Option A (82°30'W) is too far east, Option B (97°30'W) is too far west, and Option C (75°00'W) is the time meridian for the Eastern Time Zone, which is not applicable for Pensacola.
