A backsight is taken on a benchmark of rod reading of 1.30 meters, vertical angle of 22° 30’, and slope distance distance from instrument of 57.6 m. A foresight is taken on a point A with rod reading of 0.80 m., vertical angle of 8° 15’, and a horizontal distance of 40.50 m from the instrument. If the height of instrument is 1.20 m. having a ground elevation of 537.98 m., determine the elevation BM and point A disregarding the effect of curvature and refraction.
If the rod reading taken at 1 is 2.735 m, the elevation of 2 is 225.395 m, the difference in elevation between stations 1 and 2 is 25.650m and the difference in elevation between the instrument station and station 2 is 33.642m, determine the following: a. Height of the instrument. b. Horizontal distance between stations 1and 2.
1. A stadia measurement obtained the following data; vertical angle is 30°23', and the observed stadia intercept is 2.20m. The stadia interval factor at the measurement used is 95.50m and C is 0.30m if the height of the instrument is 1.62m, and the rod reading is taken at 1.95m. Determine the HD, VD, ID, and DE.
The HI of the instrument placed on top of a 50 m high hill is 1.2 m . The top of the water tank located 500 m away was sighted and has an angle of depression of 5 degrees. What is the elevation of the top of water tank? a. Not listed on the given choices b. 7.439 m c. 7.473 m d. 14.944 m e. 4.31 m
An elevation must be established on a benchmark on an island that is 2536.98 ft from the nearest benchmark on the island’s shore. The surveyor decides to use a total station that has a stated distance measuring accuracy of (3 mm +3 ppm) and a vertical compensator accurate to within 0.4”. The height of instrument was 5.37 ft with an estimated error of 0.05 ft. The prism height was 6.00 ft with an estimated error of 0.02 ft. The single zenith angle is read as The estimated errors in instrument and target centering are 0.003 ft. If the elevation of the occupied benchmark is 632.27 ft, what is the corrected benchmark elevation on the island? (Assume that the instrument does not correct for Earth curvature and refraction.) After completing the job, the surveyor discovered that the instrument had a vertical indexing error that caused the sight line to be inclined by 15. (a) How much error would be created in the elevation of the island benchmark if the indexing error were ignored? (b) What…

The constant K and C for certain instrument were 99.81 and 0 respectively. The ground makes a uniform slope of 9.8% from point A to point B. With the instrument at A and staff at B, readings were taken but due to obstruction in the line of sight, only reading was recorded to be 1.99m if the vertical angle of the instrument was 6.49° and Height of instrument above A was 1.7m. Determine the horizontal distance between A and B.
A backsight reading of 2.73 m is taken on point A and subsequently a foresight reading of 1.35 m is taken on point B from a level station established midway between the points. The difference in elevation between points A and B is
