Reaction Paper Week 9 and 10

This reaction paper discusses different types of compasses used for navigation. It describes a dry card compass, which is a small, sensitive compass unaffected by temperature fluctuations. It also describes a magnetic compass found within a binnacle, which houses the compass bowl. The binnacle has holes for installing corrector magnets to adjust for deviation errors. Finally, it discusses the importance of getting the right direction with a magnetic compass for navigation and defines key terms like heading and bearing.

REACTION PAPER

Earon John A Jalandoon


Week 9 and 10 Topic
Magnetic compass is a device that may be used to determine the direction of
an attracting field. A compass is a navigation device that consists of a small
metal needle that is charged and can turn toward any path. It is stated that the
magnetic compass is a navigation device that will make it easier for us to know
which direction we are going. However, not everything the magnetic compass
points to is compatible, and we will have what is known as variation and
deviation, which can tell if we are heeding deviation.
There are two sorts of compasses in use that we need to learn about. The first
is the Dry Card Compass, which, according to my research, is constructed of
rice paper. This is a relatively little device, and it is unaffected by temperature
fluctuations. The dry card compass has a high level of sensitivity. The dry card
oscillates even if there is a tiny disturbance. For me, it is seldom used since the
dry card compass is claimed to be sensitive here in what I read, and it is a little
compass that we can take wherever we go or in the water, where we
occasionally see it on antique ships or, to my knowledge, was also used during
the war.
Binnacle On the monkey island, the steering compass is usually found within a
binnacle of an old-fashioned magnetic compass. The compass bowl, which is
one of the most significant pieces of a binnacle, is suspended in the top section
of the binnacle. A little entrance in the middle of the ship enables access to an
electric bulb, which is one of the most crucial since it functions as a switch so
that the person on board can see what bearing the destination is in. A number
of holes are located in the bottom half of the binnacle, both fore and aft. The
one who serves as the need or develops the magnetic cohesion is the one who
directs the placement of corrector magnets during compass adjustment.
A number of holes are located in the bottom half of the binnacle, both fore and
aft. The one who serves as the need or constructs the magnetic compass
because it has an iron that we need to adjust depending on where we need it,
is the one who goes against the directions to install corrector magnets at the
time of compass adjustment. To observe the compass card, a periscope tube
setup comprising of lenses and a mirror is commonly installed at the bottom of
the binnacle. This is done to observe the compass reading inside the
wheelhouse at the steering position. It expands the binnacle to see properly
otherwise it won't come out yet to look at the bearing.
When it comes to navigation, one of the most important things is getting the
right direction with the magnetic compass so that we can make sure our
position is in the right direction or there is a deviation from our heading. The
bearing is one of the things I've studied how to get it and in the right direction
and peek at the magnetic compass, so as a student I learned to research on the
internet how to get it and in the right direction and peek at the magnetic
compass.
Your heading is the direction your ship is facing; for example, if your ship is
facing east, your heading is east. If we convert it to a new format, your heading
is 090°, where it is said to be focused or our direction, and the bearing is an or
the outcome of our heading or the objects around us, as if someone is around
270 degrees, it will serve as our bearing.
A lubber line is a fixed line on a compass binnacle or radar plan position
indicator display pointing towards the front of the ship or aircraft and
corresponding to the craft's centerline. It is one of the parts of the magnetic
compass that is especially important because it is fixed to the compass
binnacle. Related to this is the Azimuth Circle and Bearing, which serves as a
guide to peek or view a bearing properly or correctly, as well as helping us to
focus. And it also has the right use so that we can see or be able to focus on
our bearing that we want to see based on my reading first let's take it in
placement and put it in our compass bowl, and let's focus it properly on the
bearing we want to see, let's make sure it's properly placed, and slowly focus it
on as we please as in the vessel that surrounds us, and shoot the exact bearing
