donny don't even know what the sq rt of 50 is.

actually, the square root of 50 is an irrational number (meaning
never end, never repeating) that is just a rough estimate. a more
accurate answer to 1,000 decimal places is:

Note: if a thousand digits is not accurate enough, let me know and I
can do the math quickly up to maybe 5 million decimal places. More
than 5 mil will take me a bit longer.

donny, your math wouldn't get you promoted from 10th grade to 11th.

(what the hell do *you* think the sq rt of 50 is, for the krist sakes?)

As it happens, I don't have an opinion about the square root of 50.

Now, perhaps you could tell us why you think that my mathematical skills are
lacking??

While you are at it, you can also tell us about the malicious code that I
sent you in an e-mail?


I haven't forgotten about your lying accusation! I think that you should
admit that you might have made a mistake

Think about it!

Math Problem
 

Since no one seems willing to do this probably, here are the answers:
Starting with heading of 190 and speed through water 5, to have a COG of 90 and
SOG of 5,
current must be 50 degrees, speed of 7.66

Starting with heading of 190 and speed through water 5, to have a COG of 90 and
SOG of 2.5,
current must be 34.37 degrees, speed of 5.96



For any oblique triangle with angles A, B, and C, and opposite sides a,b, and, c
then:
the law of sines says:

a/ sinA = b / sinB = c / sinC = diameter of circumscribed circle

and the law of cosines says:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*a*b* cos C

Say you are sailing a course of 190 and making 5 kn. An adverse current
suddenly gets you and you are now making a COG of 90. Assume the new COG is
at
the same speed (5kn) and again at 2.5 kn. What direction and speed must the
current be to produce either of these results? Can such a current exist in a
Gulf Stream eddie?

Why give an answer to 1000 places when it wrong in the second place? The point
of nav problems is to be able to get the correct answer, not something within
