Beams

In structural engineering, a beam is a component made of a variety of materials (including steel alloys, and wood) that can resist loads applied laterally to the beam axis. Members, elements, rafters, shafts, and purlins are all terms used to describe beams.

Please help with b, i & ii The slope distance between two stations A and B measured with EDM when corrected for meteorological conditions and instrument constants, is 113.893 m. The heights of the instrument and reflector are 1.739 m and 1.839 m, respectively, above the ground. To measure the vertical angle a theodolite was set up at A, 1.665 m above the ground and a target at B having height above the ground as 1.632 m.

6. During an instant of observation at a place whose latitude is N38°29'42", the sun's apparent declination (d) already corrected for refraction and parallax, and true altitude (h) were determined to be N17°24'29" and 32°55'30", respectively. Determine the length (in angular units) of the three sides of the astronomical triangle formed by the sun, the observer's zenith, and celestial pole.
To determine the elevation of a detail point, a total station was set up on a traverse station known to have an orthometric height of 9.456 m. Then, a reflector with a rod with a height of 1.45 m was placed at the detail point, and the total station was aimed at this reflector, and a vertical angle of 949. 1258 and a horizontal distance of 59.168 m were observed. Please calculate the orthometric height of the detail point, considering that the height of the total station set up at the traverse station is 1.54 m from the ground

which of the instrument is more accurate in angle measurement theodolite or total station? Why?
The EDM slope distance between two points is 2,183.71 ft, and the vertical angle is 2º4530 (the vertical angles were read at both ends of the line and then averaged). If the elevation of the instrument station is 285.69 ft and the heights of the instrument, EDM, target, and reflector are all equal to 5.08 ft, compute the elevation of the target station and the horizontal distance to that station.
