It is important to know how to get meriodnal parts in solving a problem on Mercator Sailing. So since I will be featuring mercator problem next, I think it would be necessary for me to write the formula for getting the meridional parts.
So this is the formula for meridional parts:
Meridional Parts = (Latitude ÷ 2) + 45 = Tan Log Ans × 7915.7 - Sin latitude × 23.2
The application for this formula will be dealt with in my next post on mercator sailing.

ReplyDeleteHow to interpolate meridional parts in the useful tabl
ReplyDeleteWell this is really good stuff. Thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the value of ÷2, +45, 7915.7, 23.2 thanks...
ReplyDeleteActually it is the formula.
DeleteIs there a negative result? Ex. (-157.6)?
