Question
In the accompanying sketch, a vertical angle of -14°30' is read to a target 3.50 m above point
M. The measured inclined distance (S) is 644.15m and the elevation of point K is 320.70 m
above sea level. If the height of the instrument at K is 1.27 m, the elevation of M, considering
the effects of the earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction is
e =-14°30'
