In the accompanying sketch, a vertical angle of −14°30' is read to a target 1.75m above point M. The measured inclined distance (S) is 644.15m and the elevation of point K is 320.70m above mean sea level. If the height of instrument at K is 1.27m, the elevation of M, considering the effects of the earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction, is?

Question

In the accompanying sketch, a vertical angle of −14°30' is read to a target 1.75m above point M. The measured inclined distance (S) is 644.15m and the elevation of point K is 320.70m above mean sea level.

If the height of instrument at K is 1.27m, the elevation of M, considering the effects of the earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction, is?
