engineers usually check whether the engineer's level is in perfect adjustment. A two peg test is used to check
whether the line of sight is in perfect adjustment and the following rod readings are taken, with instrument set-
up near A, backsight on A is 1.823m and foresight readings on B is 2.875m, with instrument set up near B,
backsight on B is 1.622m and foresight on A is 0.362m.
Compute the difference in elevation
between A and B.
Your answer
Determine the correct rod reading on
A with instrument still set-up at B.
Your answer

Compute the adjusted value of angle
D.

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…
