Question

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?
