Surv Exercise4

The document presents a surveying exercise involving calculations for the inter-visibility of three mountains with varying elevations, considering earth's curvature and refraction. It also includes observations from a two peg test using a dumpy level to determine differences in elevation between points A and B, as well as elevations at various stations. The results provide specific elevation values and corrections necessary for accurate surveying.

SURVEYING – EXERCISE 4

Situation 1: Two mountains A and C have an elevation of 780m and 720m, respectively. Mountain B of
elevation 745m is located 22km from mount A and 25km from mount. C. With respect to the effects of
earth’s curvature and refraction.
1. Compute the elevation of the line of sight at B so that A and C are inter-visible. 𝟕𝟏𝟒. 𝟕𝟗𝒎
2. Compute the equal height of towers constructed at A and C so that the three mountains are inter-visible.
𝟑𝟎. 𝟐𝟏𝒎
3. Compute the height of the tower constructed at A so that B and C are still inter-visible. 𝟓𝟔. 𝟖𝒎
Situation 2: In the two peg test of a dumpy level, the following observation were taken

ROD READING AT INSTRUMENT set up near M INSTRUMENT set up near P


A 0.296 1.563
B 0.910 2.140
Point M is equidistant from both A and B, while P is 2.50m away from A along the extension of line AB
and 79.27m from B.
4. Determine the true difference in elevation between A and B. 0.614m
5. Determine the error in rod reading at B with the instrument still at P. -0.038m
6. Determine the correct reading on rod B for a horizontal line of sight with the instrument still at point P.
2.178m
