2. A vessel in position 37°12' 013°04' W proceeds East along same parallel of latitude till she arrives in longitude 005°37' W. Calculate the distance travelled by her.
3. Find course and distance by Mercator Sailing Formula from 32°29' 064°00' E to 49°50' 005°15'E.
4. On 22nd September 1992 at GMT 10 hr 09 m 38 s in DR 18°20' 085°40' the azimuth of setting sun was 265° If variation was 2° calculate the deviation of the compass.
