Answer to Problem 14.1P

Rapid static survey method

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  5km baseline.

Concept Used:

Global navigation satellite systems-static surveys

Calculation:

For a 5km baseline using a dual frequency receiver the rapid static method is used because it is suitable for observing the baselines up to 20km length under the good observation conditions.

Conclusion:

Therefore, Rapid static survey method is used.

b.

To determine

The time period of the observation of the baseline.

Answer to Problem 14.1P

  15min

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  5km baseline.

Concept Used:

Global navigation satellite systems-static surveys

Calculation:

  ELEMENTARY SURVERYING W/ACCESS PACKAGE, Chapter 14, Problem 14.1P

From the above table dual frequency for 5km baseline is given by:

Length for 5km baseline

  Length for5km baseline=10min+1min/kmLength for5km baseline=10min+1min/km×5Length for5km baseline=15min

Conclusion:

Therefore, time period for the baseline to be observed is 15min .

c.

To determine

The epoch rate to be used.

Answer to Problem 14.1P

  5sec

Explanation of Solution

All receivers should be set to collect data at same epoch rate bust usually it is set to 5sec which is considerable smaller than rate of the given static session.
