Question

A man standing on the ground can see just the tip of a tower 25km away. If the eye of the man is 1.8m above sea level, determine the height of the tower above sea level considering curvature and refraction correction.

 

 The top of the tower signal at B 2000 m away from A was sighted through a transit with a recorded vertical angle of 3’30”. The height of the mast is 12 m and H.I.ofthe transit above the point where it is set is 1.10m. The elevation of the point under the transit A is 133.33 m. Compute the elevation of the base of the signal B. 

Ps. with solution, please.
