A tilting level is set up with the eyepiece vertically over a peg A (fig.). The height from the top of A to the centre of the eyepiece is measured and found to be 1.516 m. A level staff is then held on a distant peg B and read. This reading is 0.696 m. The level is then set over B. The height of the eyepiece above B is 1.466 m and a reading on A is 2.162 m. (à) What is the difference in level between A and B? (b) Is the collimation of the telescope in adjustment? (c) If out of adjustment, can the collimation be corrected without moving the level from its position at B?
