Surveying Question:

A differential leveling circuit starts at benchmark Concrete Benchmark (Elevation=232.051m) goes out to an unknown benchmark and then continues to a known control point (Elevation=227.975m). Two turning points are used with the measurements included in the attached table.

Determine the elevation of the unknown benchmark
Determine the order and class of the survey.

For First order Class 1:

Allowable Error= +/- 4(K)^1/2
Range of Constant= m less than/equal to 4

For First Order Class 2:

Allowable error= +/- 5(K)^1/2
Range of constant= m greater than/equal to 4, and m less than equal to 5 (between 4 and 5)

For Second Order Class 1:

Allowable error = +/- 6(K)^1/2
Range of Constant = m greater than/equal to 5, and m less than equal to 6 (between 5 and 6)

For Second Order Class 2:

Allowable error = +/- 8(K)^1/2
Range of Constant = m greater than/equal to 6, and m less than equal to 8 (between 6 and 8)

For Third Order, Any Class:

Allowable Error = +/-12(K)^1/2
Range of Constant = m greater than/equal to 8 and m less than/equal to 12 (between 8 and 12)
