The elevations of two stations A and B are 92.50 m, and 142 m, and the distance between them is 50 km. The mean elevation of the intervening ground may be assumed as 75 m. Determine the minimum height of the signal required at B in order that the line of sight is nowhere less than 2 m above the ground.

Following are the observations recorded using a total station between two points Aand B:The zenith angle is 82°32'20", the slope distance is 8335.26 ft. The height of theinstrument and rod recording r are equal. If the elevation of point A is 1431.31 ft.Determine the elevation of point B.
It is desired to sight from Dimasalang Hill (elev = 196.85 m) to Humabon Hill (elev = 198.15 m) 40 km away. Sikatuna Hill (elev = 197.65 m), 2.2 km away, apparently obstructs the line of sight. If towers of equal height on Dimasalang Hill and Humabon Hill are to be constructed so that the line just clears Sikatuna Hill by 3.50 m, what will be the height of these towers?

Elevation by Plane Table. A plane table and alidade were set up over an unknown ground station with the line of sight of the alidade measuring 1.26 m above the ground. On a leveling rod held at a benchmark, a road intercept of 1.52m and a horizontal hair reading of 1.69m were observed. If the elevation of the benchmark is 358.05m and the observed vertical angle directed to it was -10°22', determine the elevation of the ground point where the plane table was set up. Assume K=100 and C=0. *Determine the horizontal distance between the plane table station and the bench mark.
