In the two-peg test of a dumpy level using alternate method, the full observation was taken. Rod Reading on point A Rod Reading on point B Instrument set up near M 0.296 m 0.910 m Instrument set up near P 1.563 m 2.140 m Point M is equidistant from both A and B, while P is 2.50 m. away from A along the extension of line AB and 79.27 m from B. a.) Determine the true difference in elevation between A and B. b.) Determine the error in the rod reading at B with the instrument still at P. c.) Determine the correct reading on rod B for a horizontal line of sight with the instrument still at P.
