A calibrated Laser level was determined to have a (HI) height of instrument 4.83 ft. A level loop was closed to a known (BM) Benchmark with an elevation of 1.69 ft. A backsight rod reading of 5.32 was recorded from a turning point before closing the loop. What is the foresight rod reading needed to close the loop "Flat" (no error)?

When the reading was taken on a staff held at a point of known elevation of 123.45 m, the staff reading was recorded as 1.875 m. The height of the instrument would be
A line of three-wire differential levels goes from benchmark Gloria to benchmark Carey. The length of the line was determined to be 2097 m. The instrument had a stated compensator accuracy of pm 1.4 mm/ km. The instrument–rod combination had an estimated reading error of 0.4 mm per 40 m. Sight distances were kept to approximately 50 5 m. If the observed difference in elevation is 15.601 m, what is the estimated error in the final elevation difference? If benchmark Gloria had a fixed elevation of 231.071 m and Carey had a fixed elevation of 246.660 m, did the job meet acceptable closure limits at a 95% level of confidence? Justify your answer statistically.
An elevation must be established on a benchmark on an island that is 2536.98 ft from the nearest benchmark on the island’s shore. The surveyor decides to use a total station that has a stated distance measuring accuracy of (3 mm +3 ppm) and a vertical compensator accurate to within 0.4”. The height of instrument was 5.37 ft with an estimated error of 0.05 ft. The prism height was 6.00 ft with an estimated error of 0.02 ft. The single zenith angle is read as The estimated errors in instrument and target centering are 0.003 ft. If the elevation of the occupied benchmark is 632.27 ft, what is the corrected benchmark elevation on the island? (Assume that the instrument does not correct for Earth curvature and refraction.) What is the estimated error in the computed benchmark elevation if the instrument has a DIN 18723 stated accuracy of +-3"?
