Instruments for Surveying

Surveying is the practice that determines the relative three-dimensional positions of many different points on the earth’s surface. There are various instruments used in Surveying like Theodolites, Total station, Tripod stands, Plane table, etc. for measuring horizontal angle, vertical and sloping angle, which are very useful for giving accurate and precise measurement.

Question

1. A tacheometer was set up at station P and observations were
made to two stations Q and R. The vertical angles to Q and R were

The telescope inclined at an angle of depression 10° to the horizontal, the readings on the staff are 2.680, 1.825, 1.000m. If the height of instrument (H! ) is 1.40m and R.L. of station A is 360.8 m, then the R.L. of point B is cm. [Take multiplying and additive constant of the instrument to be 100 and 1 respectively]
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?
