A line of three-wire differential levels goes from benchmark Gloria o benchmark Carey. The length of the line was determined to be 199 m. The instrument had a stated compensator accuracy of +0.3". The instrument-rod combination had an estimated reading error of ±1 nm/km. The instrument is found to have an inclined collimation error of 1.0 mm/km, so the sight distances were kept to approximately 50 ± 5 m. If the difference in elevation observed is 15.601 m, what is the stimated error in the final elevation difference?

Question

Transcribed Image Text:A line of three-wire differential levels goes from benchmark Gloria
to benchmark Carey. The length of the line was determined to be
2199 m. The instrument had a stated compensator accuracy of +0.3".
The instrument-rod combination had an estimated reading error of +1
mm/km. The instrument is found to have an inclined collimation error
of 1.0 mm/km, so the sight distances were kept to approximately 50 ±
5 m. If the difference in elevation observed is 15.601 m, what is the
estimated error in the final elevation difference?
