The top of tower at Point B is viewed at point A using an instrument with height of 150 cm above point A. Point A has an elevation of 20 m above sea level. a) What is the elevation of the top of tower at point B if it is 25 km away from the point A? b) How far is point A in meters if the top of the tower at point B is 15.945 m above sea level? c) What is the elevation of the tower at a distance 25 km away from the point A that will just be visible without the line of sight approaching nearer than 21.50 m to the water?

PROBLEM #4 Two points of a trigonometric leveling A and B of a certain terrain are each distance 2500m. Angles A and B are measured from a third point C located in between that has an elevation of 300m. The measured vertical angles to A is + 5°30' and to B is +8°30’ from point C. a. Considering the earth's refraction, what is the difference of elevation A and B? b. What is the elevation of point A? c. What is the difference in elevation between B and C?
The HI of the instrument placed on top of a 50 m high hill is 1.2 m . The top of the water tank located 500 m away was sighted and has an angle of depression of 5 degrees. What is the elevation of the top of water tank? a. Not listed on the given choices b. 7.439 m c. 7.473 m d. 14.944 m e. 4.31 m
3. In the figure below, a vertical angle of -14°30' is read to a target 1.75 m above point M. The measured inclined distance (S) is 644.15 m and the elevation of point K is 320.70 m above mean sea level. If the height of instrument at K is 1.27 m, the elevation of M, considering effects of the earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction, is? HORIZONTAL LINE HI = 1.27 m S= 644.15 m M RR = 1.75 m DATUM (MEAN SEA LEVEL) Elev K = 320.70 m DE -14°30
The line of sight rises at the rate of 0.143 m in 100 m when the level bubble is centered. A backsight of 1.713 m is taken on a point Pat a distance of 25 m from the level, and a foresight of 1.267 m is taken from a point Q at a distance of 60 m from the level. If the elevation of Pis 111.000 m, what is the elevation of Q?
The slope distance and zenith angle observed from point X to point Y were 1501.85 ft. and 86°27'15". The instrument and rod target heights were equal. If the elevation of point X is 102.09 ft. above datum, what is the elevation of point Y? (Hint: Don't forget to account for curvature and refraction.)
A backsight reading of 2.73 m is taken on point A and subsequently a foresight reading of 1.35 m is taken on point B from a level station established midway between the points. The difference in elevation between points A and B is
Trigonometric Leveling - correct for curvature and refraction Elevation of Point A = 630.57' Zenith angle from Point A to Point B = 84°-22'-15" Slope distance from Point A to Point B = 1,760.00 What is the elevation of Point B? answer to 2nd decimal place example answer 200.87 - don't enter units Your Answer: Answer
5.A fishing vessel with a green light on its deck, 10.5m above the water, disappears from the sight of a man on shore whose eye level measures 1.60 m above the water. Determine the distance between the vessel and the man considering the effect of earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction. a) 15.45km b) 16.67m c) 17.34km d) 13,56km
The top of a 95.6m high building 1.25km away was sighted through a total station. The height of the total station above mean sea level is 120.89m. If the recorded vertical angle is 9°45', determine the elevation (m) of the base of the building with respect to the mean sea level. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
