A horizontal collimation test is performed on an automatic level following the procedures described in Section 4.15.5. With the instrument setup at point 1, the rodreading at A was 3.886 ft, and to B it was 3.907 ft. After moving and leveling the instrument at point 2, the rod reading to A was 4.094 ft and to B was 4.107 ft. What isthe collimation error of the instrument and the corrected reading to A from point 2?
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?
PLEASE FIND SOLUTION THAT WILL COME UP WITH THE SAME ANSWER The two-peg test is used to determine if the line of sight of an engineer’s level is in adjustment, and the following rod readings are taken: with instrument set up near A, rod reading on A is 1.623 m, rod reading on B is 2.875 m; with instrument set up near B, rod reading on B is 1.622 m, and rod reading on A is 0.362 m. i. The correct rod reading on A to give a level line of sight with the instrument still set up near B should be? answer: 0.366 m ii. In order to adjust the line of sight, the horizontal cross hairs should be moved? answer: Upward by 0.004 m
Solve and show compleete solution.A theodolite is set up at point A and a subtense bar mounted on a tripod set up on point B. The instrument sighted the leftmost end of the subtense bar and the initial reading is 0°15’14”. The surveyor turned the theodolite clockwise and sighted the rightmost end of the subtense bar and the final reading is 1°51’05”. What is the distance between point A and B?. (The angle between 2 lines is the difference of the final and initial reading)
The two—peg test is used to determine if the line of sight of the telescope is parallel to the axis of the bubble tube. A tilting level is set up halfway between points A and B and rod readings on both points are 1.969 m and 2.161 m, respectively. The level is then set up 3.50 m away from A along the extension of line AB and 53.50 from B. Then rod readings on A and B were recorded as 1.554 m and 1.728 m, respectively. Determine if the line of sight is inclined downward or upward and the amount by which the horizontal cross hair should be moved to adjust the line of sight.
A tacheometer was set up at station P and observations were made to two stations Q and R. The vertical angles to Q and R were 5°30’ and 1°08’ The cross-hair readings at Q were 2.105, 2.47 and 2.835 and those at R were 2.215, 2.56 and 2.905. The staff were held vertical in both cases. The instrument constants were 100 and 0.3. The reading from P to a BM of RL 285.35m was 2.255. The horizontal angle QPR measured was 58°30’.
