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?

An EDM slope distance AB is determined to be 561.276 m. The EDM instrument is 1.820 m above station A, and the prism is 1.986 m above station B. The EDM in- strument is mounted on a theodolite whose optical center is 1.720 m above the sta- tion. The theodolite was used to measure the vertical angle (+6°21'38') to a target on the prism pole; the target is 1.810 m above station B. Compute both the horizon- tal distance AB and the elevation of station B if the elevation of station A = 186.275 m.

A preengineering baseline was run down a very steep hill (see Figure). The vertical angle is turned to a point on a plumbed range pole that is 4.88 ft above the ground. The slope distance from the theodolite to the point on the range pole is 148.61 ft. The theodolite’s optical center is 4.66 ft (the height of the instrument) above the upper baseline station at110+71.25. If the elevation of the upper station is 377.93, what is the elevation of lower station? (15) What is the chainage (stationing) of the lower station?

The upper and lower stadia hair readings on a stadia rod held at station B were observed as 3.50 and 1.00 m, respectively, with the use of a transit with an internal focusing telescope and having a stadia interval factor of 99.5. The height of the instrument above station A is 1.45 m, and the rod reading is taken at 2.25 m. Determine the horizontal distance between points A and B, and the elevation of point B, if the elevation of point A is 155.54 m, above mean sea level.
