It would be useful, almost required to get some sort of Nautical Almanac, which some of the larger Libraries have. Textbooks on astronomical navigation (a.k.a. celestial) would also come in handy as might Corps of Engineers technical manuals on such things as the Vertical axis Theodolite- a most versatile instrument. Get a Nautical al manac, not the farmer"s or News summary types! Good Luck, Galileo Jr!
The astrolabe or sextant was designed to perform said measurements. GPS is common, cheap and easy to use, and it has displaced the units. These tools of navigation are now inexpensive and easy to come by. (Kind of like slide rules after electronic calculators became common.) A look on eBay will probably reveal several different units in a range of prices.Use the link to the Wikipedia article on the sextant and see what it can do.

What is formula for calculate maximum current?
volts divided by resistance equals maximum amperage (current)
What are the instruments for the study of the gain of a two stage RC Coupled transistor amplifier?
depends on whether you would like calculate or measured results. if you want calculated resulted, then your best bet would be to use an oscilloscope. if you want calculated results, then there are formulas for finding out the voltage, current, impedance, and individual results from each component using the capacitive reactance, voltage, and type of transistor. are you using a summing transistor, inverting amplifying transistor, amplifying transistor, or a different transistor? also are you using DC or AC voltage or current? you need to tell me what type of transistor you are using?
How much current is flowing when 16 coulombs pass a specified point in 4 seconds?
If you divide the charge by the time, you get the average current (in amperes).
What is the conversion for peak to peak voltage to peak to peak current?
It is the same as the conversion of the voltage to current. You need ohm's law.Good to now the resistance R.Scroll down to related links and look at "Ohm's Law".AnswerThere is no conversion from voltage to current, regardless how they are measured. They are two different quantities, so it's rather like asking, "What is the conversion for kilograms to feet?"
What is a bus fault?
When a fault occurs in the electric bus (electric lines and intersections) due to short circuit between the phases or between 1 or more phase and ground, the current value mounts up to a very high value, which is known as bus fault current. This high value of current may cause damages to the transformers and could also rupture the other electric lines connected to the bus.
What is the azimuth of Jupiter?
The azimuth of Jupiter is constantly changing as the planet moves across the sky. To determine the current azimuth of Jupiter at your location, you can use a star-gazing app or website that provides real-time sky positions of celestial objects based on your coordinates.
