Question
Solve and show compleete solution.
A theodolite is set up at point A and a subtense bar mounted on a tripod set up on point B. The instrument sighted the leftmost end of the subtense bar and the initial reading is 0°15’14”. The surveyor turned the theodolite clockwise and sighted the rightmost end of the subtense bar and the final reading is 1°51’05”. What is the distance between point A and B?. (The angle between 2 lines is the difference of the final and initial reading)

- PLEASE FIND SOLUTION THAT WILL COME UP WITH THE SAME ANSWER The two-peg test is used to determine if the line of sight of an engineer’s level is in adjustment, and the following rod readings are taken: with instrument set up near A, rod reading on A is 1.623 m, rod reading on B is 2.875 m; with instrument set up near B, rod reading on B is 1.622 m, and rod reading on A is 0.362 m. i. The correct rod reading on A to give a level line of sight with the instrument still set up near B should be? answer: 0.366 m ii. In order to adjust the line of sight, the horizontal cross hairs should be moved? answer: Upward by 0.004 marrow_forwardSubject : Surveying I need clear explanation Note: If you don't know the answer please leave it but don't give me wrong answer. Don't copy from other experts solution.arrow_forwardThe surveying team used 30 m tape in measuring an inclined distance. The measured length on the slope was recorded to be 459.20m long. The difference in elevation between the initial point and the end point was found to be 1.25m. The 30 m tape is of standard length at a temperature of 10°C and a pull of 50N. During measurement the temperature reading was 15°C and tape was supported at both ends with an applied pull of 75 N. The cross-sectional area of the tape is 6.50 mm² and the modulus of elasticity is 200 GPa. The tape has a mass of 0.0075 kg/m. Determine the true horizontal distance. K=0.0000116 m/°Carrow_forward
- In tacheometry survey, an intercept of 0.755m was recorded on a staff which was believed to vertical, and the vertical angle measured on the theodolite was +15º. Actually, the staff which was 4 metres long was 0.14m out of plumb bob and leaning backwards away from the instrument position. Assuming it was an anallatic instrument with a multiplying constant of 100, what would have been the error in the computed horizontal distance?arrow_forwardImagine that you are the engineer responsible for the tacheometric survey of an area where a public park will be built. While surveying, you found a cliff that needs to be detailed mapped. Using a tacheometer, the following readings were obtained:Data:Zenith angle (z): 45°Reading on stadimetric wires:High wire: 1.485 mMedium yarn: 1,000 mLow wire:0.948 mInstrument height: 1.50mHeight of observed point: 0 m Calculate the horizontal distance from the observed point and the height of the cliff in relation to the instrument position. ∆d = 100.
