Errors in the prediction of a satellite's position are called
The radius of a simple curve is 300 m and the length of the specified chord is 30m, the degree of curve is
Calculate the horizontal distance on sloping ground, if the distance along the slope is 20 m and the angle of slope with the horizontal is 30°
A 100 m tape weighing 30 N is suspended between the two ends under a standard pull of 180 N. The correct distance between the tape ends is __________ m.
The following measurements were made during testing a leveling instrument.
P1 is close to P and P2 is close to Q. If the reduced level of station P is 100.000m, the reduced level of station Q is
The observation ray between two triangular stations A and B just grazes the sea. If the heights of A and B are 9000 metres and 3000 metres respectively, distance AB will be (diameter of earth 12880 km). Consider the effect of curvature only.
In included angle method of traversing
What is the distance between the line of sight and the trunnion axis the hypotenuse distance for a tachometric instrument of height 1.5m is fitted with an internal focusing telescope and positioned at a reduced level of 105.5m? The instrument focusses a vertically held staff at an angle of 5 °12’. The staff readings are 1.31m, 2.12m, and 3.23m. Assume the value of the additive constant to be 8 cm and multiplying constant as 1230.
A steel tape of nominal length (l) 30 m was used to measure a line by suspending it between supports. If the measured length (L) was 29.786 m when the slope angle (θ) was 4°30' and the mean temperature (T) and normal tension applied were 10°C and 101.76 N respectively.
The standard length (l') of the tape was 30.004 m at 20°C and 45 N tension. The tape weighed 0.20 N/m and had a cross-sectional area of 2 mm² with Young's modulus of elasticity = 2 × 10⁵ N/mm² and coefficient of thermal expansion (α) = 1.12 × 10⁻⁵/°C.
The correct horizontal length of the line is _____ m.
