A vertical angle of -14°30' is read to a target 1.75 m. above point M. The measured inclined distance (S) is 644.15 m. and the elevation of point K is 320.70 m. above mean sea level. If the height of instrument at K is 1.27 m., determine the elevation of M, considering the effects of the earth's curvature and atmospheric refraction.
To test its line of sight adjustment, a level is set up near C (elev. 193.436 m) and then near D. Rod readings listed in the order taken are C = 1.315 m, D = 0.848 m, D = 1.296 m, and C = 1.767 m. Compute the elevation of D, and the reading required on C to adjust the instrument.
A backsight reading of 2.73 m is taken on point A and subsequently a foresight reading of 1.35 m is taken on point B from the instrument station. If the elevation of A is 386.70 m above MSL, the elevation of B should be:
The top of a mast signal 2000m away was sighted through a transit with recorded vertical angle of 4 deg. 10 min. the height of the mast is 6m and the HI of the transit above the point where it is set is 1.2m. The elevation of the base of the signal B is 171.17m. Compute the elevation of the point under the transit A with due allowance for curvature and refraction correction.
A line of levels is run from BM1 to BM2, which is 12 km long. Elevation of BM1 was found out to be 100 m and that of BM2 is 125.382 m.

In a leveling work, sum of the Back Sight (B.S.) and Fore Sight (F.S.) have been found to be 3.085 m and 5.645 m respectively. If the Reduced Level (R.L.) of the starting station is 100.000 m, the R.L. (in m) of the last station is
The height of a tower was determined by trigonometric leveling. The instrument was set up at point A, a distance of 75m from the base of the tower. The height of instrument set up was measured to be 1.22m. The top of the tower was observed at an angle of + 35o22’. Calculate the height of tower.
To determine the elevation of point B on top of a cliff, the transit is set up at point A with an elevation of 41.2 m. The vertical angle to point B was +16°32' and the height of instrument is 1.5 m.
