Q1) In 1898 the magnetic bearing of a stone wall was N
12o W. At the present time the true bearing
of the stone wall is N 2o E and the magnetic
bearing of the stone wall is N 22o E. What is
the 1898 magnetic declination?
10oE
10oW
14oW
14oE
Question 2
Given:
1860 magnetic declination = 01o 00' 00" E
2020 magnetic declination = 02o 00' 00" E
1860 magnetic bearing = S 02o 00' 00" W
Find:
2020 magnetic bearing
(HINT: Remember that a bearing (or azimuth) is the
direction of a line that exists on the ground (surface of the
earth). Even though a problem may just give a bearing without
referring to a line on the ground, you must always include the line
that exists on the ground in your sketch. A bearing has no
meaning if it does not refer to a line that exists on the
ground. Perhaps such a problem should say: ".. the 1860
magnetic bearing of a stonewall was S
02o 00' 00" W.
The stonewall still exists on the ground; find
the 2020 magnetic bearing of the said stonewall."
S 03o 00' 00" E
S 01o 00' 00" E
S 03o 00' 00" W
S 01o 00' 00" W
Q3)
Referring to the following figure and coordinate table, what is
the starting azimuth of the traverse (A-B)?
11o 31' 12"
348o 28' 48"
191o 31' 12"
168o 28' 48"
