Question

As per plan, the distance between two telephone poles is 356.35 meters. If the location of one is known in the field and the second is to be laid with a 100 m tape known to be 0.02 meter too long, along an average ground slope of 1%. Determine the actual length to be laid along the ground surface.

Given:
Nominal Tape Length	L₁
Required Distance to be Laid out	Di
correction due incorrect tape length	Ci
Ground slope	S

Solution
correction per tape length (correction 100-m length)
incorrect tape length	Ci
slope correction (approximate method)	C_SL
cumulative correction per tape length (all sources of tape corrections)	C
total correction (correction for Di)	tot C
Tape too long (+) or too short (-)? write the sign only
Is the total correction to be added or to be subtracted?
Correct Distance to be laid out	D_C

Expert Solution

Step 1: Mention the given data

Distance between two poles, $D subscript i equals 356.35 space straight m$

Nominal tape length, $L subscript 1 equals 100 space straight m$

Correction due incorrect tape length, $C subscript i equals 0.02 space straight m$

Ground slope, $S equals 1 percent sign$

To find: Actual length to be laid.
