The constant K and C for certain instrument were 99.81 and 0 respectively. The ground makes a uniform slope of 9.8% from point A to point B. With the instrument at A and staff at B, readings were taken but due to obstruction in the line of sight, only reading was recorded to be 1.99m if the vertical angle of the instrument was 6.49° and Height of instrument above A was 1.7m. Determine the horizontal distance between A and B.
A transit with a stadia constant equal to 0.30 is used to determine the horizontal distance betweeen points B and C, with a stadia intercept reading of 1.75 m, the distance BC is equal to 185.87m.

FIVE DECIMALS PLACES: The constants K and C for a certain instrument were 99.89 and 0 respectively. The ground makes a uniform slope of 9.7% from point A to point B. With the instrument at A and staff at B, readings were taken but due to obstruction in the line of sight, only the reading was recorded to be 1.928. If the vertical angle of the instrument was 6.4 and the height of the instrument above A was 1.64 m, determine the horizontal distance between A and B.
For all the computed values with decimals, use four (4) digits after the decimal. Differential leveling runs from BM10 to BM11 at a distance of 7.5 km. It was observed that the leveling rod was inclined 6° from the vertical every time the backsight is taken. The average BS reading is 3.15m and the average length per set-up is 300m. Determine the error every 300m set-up and the correct elevation of BM11 if the recorded elevation was 173.20m.
