A theodolite is an instrument that measures horizontal and vertical angular orientations of a line of sight. The line of sight may be established optically, or by laser, and many forms of theodolite are used in surveying, construction, astronomy, and manufacturing. A simple optical theodolite is shown. After the instrument is aligned so that its base is in a horizontal plane and a desired reference direction is selected (such as perhaps north in the case of a surveying instrument), the telescopic sight is used to establish a line of sight, and then horizontal and vertical angles h and v are measured. If h = 30° and and v = 60°, determine the following:
7.1 The coordinate direction angle of the line of sight is Blank 1°.
7.2 The coordinate direction angle of the line of sight is Blank 2°.
7.3 The coordinate direction angle of the line of sight is Blank 3°.
A child observes an object lying on the bottom of a pool (n =1.33) with an angle of incidence of 30°, if the apparent depth is 50 cm What is the depth of the pool?
