A ship can be thought of as a symmetric arrangement of soft iron. In the presence of an external magnetic field, the soft iron will become magnetized, creating a second, weaker magnetic field. We want to examine the effect of the ship's field on the ship's compass, which will be located in the middle of the ship.
Let the strength of the Earth's magnetic field near the ship be Be, and the orientation of the field be horizontal, pointing directly toward true north.
The Earth's magnetic field Be will magnetize the ship, which will then create a second magnetic field Bs in the vicinity of the ship's compass given by
Bs=Be(−Kbcosθb^+Kssinθs^)
where Kb and Ks are positive constants, θ is the angle between the heading of the ship and magnetic north, measured clockwise, b^ and s^ are unit vectors pointing in the forward direction of the ship (bow) and directly right of the forward direction (starboard), respectively.
Because of the ship's magnetic field, the ship's compass will no longer necessarily point North.
Context question:
a. Derive an expression for the deviation of the compass, δθ, from north as a function of Kb, Ks, and θ.
Context answer:
δθ=arctan(Ks−Kb)1−Kbcos2θ−Kssin2θsinθcosθ
