True Bearing if Declination is in East Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

True Bearing = Magnetic Bearing+Magnetic Declination
TB = MB+MD
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

True Bearing - (Measured in Radian) - True Bearing is the horizontal angle measured clockwise between the true meridian and the line is called true bearing of the line.
Magnetic Bearing - (Measured in Radian) - Magnetic Bearing is the horizontal angle which a line makes with the magnetic meridian is called magnetic bearing. It varies with time.
Magnetic Declination - (Measured in Radian) - Magnetic Declination is the horizontal angle between true north and magnetic north at the time of observation.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Magnetic Bearing: 55 Degree --> 0.959931088596701 Radian (Check conversion here)
Magnetic Declination: 5 Degree --> 0.0872664625997001 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

TB = MB+MD --> 0.959931088596701+0.0872664625997001

Evaluating ... ...

TB = 1.0471975511964

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.0471975511964 Radian -->60 Degree (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

60 Degree <-- True Bearing

What is a Magnetic Meridian?

It is the direction indicated by a freely suspended and balanced magnetic needle unaffected by local attractive forces. The location of the magnetic poles is constantly changing, hence the direction of magnetic meridian also changes. However, the magnetic meridian is employed as a line of reference on rough surveys.

What is a True Bearing?

A True Bearing is the horizontal angle between the direction of an object and true north, measured in degrees clockwise.

How to Calculate True Bearing if Declination is in East?

True Bearing if Declination is in East calculator uses True Bearing = Magnetic Bearing+Magnetic Declination to calculate the True Bearing, The True Bearing if Declination is in East formula is defined as the horizontal angle measured clockwise between the true meridian and the line. It is measured as a greater value than the magnetic bearing if the declination is towards the east. True Bearing is denoted by TB symbol.

How to calculate True Bearing if Declination is in East using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for True Bearing if Declination is in East, enter Magnetic Bearing (MB) & Magnetic Declination (MD) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the True Bearing if Declination is in East calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3437.747 = 0.959931088596701+0.0872664625997001.

FAQ

What is True Bearing if Declination is in East?

The True Bearing if Declination is in East formula is defined as the horizontal angle measured clockwise between the true meridian and the line.
