Question
Q.2 Reciprocal leveling was conducted across a wide river to determine the difference in level of points
A and B, A situated on one bank of the river and B situated on the other .The following results on
the staff held vertically at A and B from level station I and 2, respectively were obtain . The level
station I was near to A and station 2 was near to B.
Instrument at
Staff reading on A
1.475
1.161
Staff reading on B
1.715
1.4
(1) If the reduce level of B is 71.18 m above the datum, what is the reduced level of A?
(2) Assuming that the atmospheric conditions remain unchanged during the two sets of the
observation, calculate (i) the combined curvature and refraction correction if the distance
AB is 315 m, (ii) the collimation error?
