What is the elevation (ft) of the lower station with the following conditions? (Answer with two decimal places.) hi ● 2+72.32 α S wire Rod R.R. • Elevation of Station 2 + 72.32 is 365.85ft • The theodolite's optical center (hi) is 4.25ft above the upper baseline station at 2 + 72.32 • Vertical angle a is 30 degrees Slope distance (S) is 81.15ft • Rod reading (R.R.) at the lower station is 4.15ft
S A theodolite is set up at station A. The RL of instrument axis is 212.250 m. The angle of elevation to the top of a 4 m long staff, held vertical at station B, is 7°. The horizontal distance between station A and B is 400 m. Neglecting the errors due to curvature of earth and refraction, the RL (in m, round off to three decimal places) of station B is
