The top of the tower signal at B which is 2km away from A was sighted through a transit with recorded vertical angle of 2o30'. The height of the signal situated on top of the tower is 12m and the height of the transit above the point where it is set is 1.10m. The elevation at A is 133.33m, compute the elevation of the base of the signal considering the effect of earth's curvature and refraction.
