The top of a tower signal at B 2000 m from A away was sighted through a transit with recorded vertical angle of 2deg30'. The height of the mast is 12 m and the HI of the transit above the point where it is set is 1.10 m. The elevation of the point under the transit A is 133.3 m. Compute the elevation of the base of the signal B. Consider the effects of curvature and refraction. 210 225 215 220
