You depart LAT 37°36'N, LONG 123°00'W, and steam 2022 miles on course 241°T. What is the longitude of your arrival by Mercator sailing?

Correct Answer: Option D — LONG 156°51.7'W

Mercator sailing calculations involve determining the difference in latitude and the corresponding difference in meridional parts. Given the course of 241°T and distance of 2022 miles, the change in longitude is calculated using the formula DLong = DMP * tan(Course). This results in a final longitude of 156°51.7'W.
