A vertical photograph of a flat area having an average elevation of 250m above mean sea level was taken with a camera of focal length 25 cm. A section line AB 300 m long in the area measures 15cm on the photograph; a tower BP in the area also appears on the photograph. The distance between images of top and bottom of the tower measures 0.5 cm on the photograph. The distance of the image of the top of the tower is 10 cm.

Survey The stadia readings with a horizontal sight on a vertical staff held 40 m away from a tacheometer were 1.385 m and 1.780 m. The focal length of the object glass was 25 cm. The distance between object glass and trunnion axis of the tacheometer was 12 cm. Solve for the stadia interval.
Exercise 2 A slope distance of 955.303 m is observed with EDM instrument having errors oft (4 mm +2 ppm). The EDM instrument is centred with an error of ±3mm. The emor in target (reflector) is 3mm. What is the estimated eror in the observed distance?

A stadia measurement was undertaken with a theodolite having an internal focusing telescope and stadia interval factor of 98.8. When a backsight was taken on a turning point whose elevation is 205.62 m, the rod interval observed was 1.94 m; and with the horizontal hairs set at 1.50 m on the rod, the vertical angle reading was -13 degree 45’. For a foresight to a control point, the rod intercept was 1.17 m; and with the horizontal hair reading of 1.60 m on the rod, the vertical angle observed was +7 degree 18’. Determine the elevation of the line of sight at the instrument point and the elevation of the point on which the foresight was taken.

Which method should a topographer use to measure distance using the method in the image ? B 34 - k k GÖL a) upright method O B) Angle method C) polar method D) Horizontal plumb method TO) rectification method
Problem 2 - A 23 m line was measured using the stadia method. The engineer found out that the reading in the upper and lower hairs are to be 1.25 m and 0.65 m respectively. For internal focusing telescope used in this survey, the stadia constant C is zero. Determine the distance of another line measured by the same instrument when the upper and lower hair reading are 1.47 m and 0.35 m respectively.
The stadia readings with horizontal sight on a vertical staff held 50 m from a tacheometer were 1.345 and 1.830 distance between the object glass and the vertical axis of the tacheometer was 16 cm and the focal length of th glass was 25 cm. The stadia interval is
In trying to minimise errors that come with using a tape in linear measurements, Mapalo suggested to the class that an EDM be used to compute the distance from BM1 to point A. A distance of 2122.241m was measured. Given that a frequency of 1.4985MHz was used, speed of light c = 299792458m/s, the refraction index of 1.0003 and that the effective wavelength measures to a centimetre, determine the phase measurement (i.e. Phase Distance and the corresponding Phase angle)
) On a truly vertical aerial photograph, whose focal length is 100.00 mm, the base ofthe corner of a vertical building appears 50.00 mm from the principal point. The top of thesame corner of the building is measured to the 51.00 mm from the principal point. It has 2been determined that the flight altitude of the camera above the ground at the base of thebuilding is 8000.0 ft. What is the height of the building?
