5 The ship's magnetic compass should be adjusted following certain circumstances. From
those listed, which is NOT one of those circumstances?

because...
- Complex fluid motion in the outer core of the Earth causes the magnetic field to change slowly with time.
This change is known as secular variation.

-magnetic variation or declination

10 In what direction does the axis of the gyro compass motor normally point?
-True North

11 From those listed, which of the statements about magnetic variation is NOT true?

12 Precession in relation to a free gyroscope is...

- the phenomenon in which the axis of a spinning object “wobbles” when a torque is applied to it

13 The magnetic equator is...

- the angle made by a compass needle with the horizontal at any point on the Earth’s surface

14 Magnetic compass - Var = 7W ; Dev = 12E ; What is the compass error?

-5E

15 What is the main purpose of frequent record of the ship's compasses courses and errors in a
log or compass deviation book?
- For checking technical condition of compass

16 From those listed, which is NOT a way of destroying magnetism?

17 A free gyroscope is said to have "three digress of freedom". From those listed, which is
NOT one of these?
3 степени свободы – он может совершать 3 независимых повороа вокруг осей пересекающихся в центре
подвеса который остается по отношению к основанию неподвижным. Thrue.

19 Magnetic Compass - If var =6E ; dev =3W, What is the compass error?
-3E

20 The gyro course is 165° and the gyro error is 3° pl us. What is the true course?
- 168

21 Magnetic compass error is...

- variation and deviation

22 The two unique properties of a free gyroscope are...

- Rigidity and deviation (Жесткость и cклонение)

circumstances. From those listed, which is NOT one of those circumstances?

24 To convert a magnetic compass course to a magnetic course, it is necessary to apply.....

- deviation

25 Latitude , course and speed error of a gyro compass...

- A gyro-compass is subject to a latitude-speed, an error increasing with latitude and speed of the ship. Also
known as “latitude-speed-error”.

26 Curves on charts showing values of equal variation are called...

- Isogonic lines

27 From those listed, which are "soft iron" correctors?

- magnet, opposite to the effects og the magnetic material in the ship

28 Leading lights are in line.True bearing is 126°. I f the gyro error is 2° plus, what would the

- 32

31 If ship's head by compass was 045 ( C ), What is the true course if the variation is 5W and
the deviation is 9.5 W?
- 030.5 (T)

32 With reference to magnetism, hard iron means that it can....

'Железо, которое раз намагнитившись, становится само как бы постоянным магнитом и потом долгое
время сохраняет свойства магнита, даже если магнитная сила и прекратила своё воздействие,
называется твердым.

33 From those listed, which of the statements about magnetic variation is true?
'Angle between magnetic north and true north

34 From those listed, which of the statements about the dip of a magnet is true?
'Magnetic dip or magnetic inclination is the angle made by a compass needle with the horizontal at any point
on the Earth's surface.
35 A gyro compass on a high-speed craft often takes time to settle correctly when altering
course. What causes this problem in general?

36 Damping effect in a gyro compass produces...
