Situation 41 For the survey conducted in measuring the elevation of Hill Amos, it was assumed that the number of measurements is directly proportional to the weights. The following data shows the measurements recorded: Trial Peak of elevation No. of measurements 1 520.14 m 1 2 520.20 m 3 520.18 m 4 520.24 m 1. Determine the most probable elevation of Hill Amos, in meters. II. If another trial was performed and the resulting elevation was 520.14 m, determine the new most probable elevation in meters.

Methods of Surveying

Surveying is the practice to determine the relative three-dimensional positions of various points on the earth’s surface. This is done by computing the vertical and horizontal distances, angles between the points, collecting the observations, and plotting them on a map of any appropriate scale. Accuracy can be achieved by using the latest instruments like a theodolite, tachometer, etc. Leveling is a subdivision of surveying where the objective is to locate the elevation of objects considering a datum level.
