    Determination of true bearing

    True bearing = magnetic bearing (+ or -) declination.

    Problems

    1) The magnetic bearing of a line is 48024' calculate the true bearing if the magnetic
    declination is 5038' east.

    Solution: Declination = +50.38'

    True bearing = 480.24'+50.38' = 540.02'

    Problems:

    1) The magnetic bearing is S250 0'W

    At that time of observation if magnetic declination is 7030' west. Find the true bearing of the line.

    Solution:

    True bearing= 250 0’ - 7030’ =S17030' W

    2) Find the true bearing of line if its magnetic bearing is S 300 W declination is 80 west.

    Solution:

    True bearing, TB = MB + MD

    = 300 – 80 =2200'

    3) In the map line AB was drawn to a MB of 1380 30' when M.D of 4030’ east. To what M.B
    the line should be set. Known magnetic declination is 80 .30’ west.

    Solution: Magnetic bearing =1380 30’+40 30’+80 30’

    M.D = 1510 30’


    Fore bearing:

    For line AB bearing from A to B is called forward bearing for the same line bearing taken from
    B to A is called back bearing of line AB.

    Fore bearing and back bearing difference will be 1800. Hence in whole circle bearing BB = FB
    (+ or -) 1800 use +ve sign if FB is less than 1800 and – sign if FB is more than 1800
    FB = NӨW BB = SӨE FB = NӨE BB = NӨW

    4) Convert the following quadrantal into whole circle bearing and find their back bearing

    Sl. No QB WCB (whole circle) BB (Back bearing)


    1 N 680E 68 (68) 248
    2 S 330E 147(180 – 93) 327
    3 N 280W 332 (360 – 28) 152
    4 N 430W 223 (180 + 43) 43
