(c) 45”
(d) 0’
Q6. Consider the following statements:
Reciprocal levelling eliminates the effect of
1. errors due to atmospheric refraction
2. errors due to earth’s curvature
3. errors due to line of collimation
4. mistake in taking levelling staff readings
Which of these statements are correct?
(a) 2, 3 and 4
(b) 1, 3 and 4
(c) 1, 2 and 3
(d) 1, 2 and 4
SOLUTION
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. given, mean velocity (V)= 2m/sec
Silt factor (f)=1
Hydraulic mean radius (R) = 5/2 (V^2/f)
= 5/2×((2)²)/1
= 10 m.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Given,
Wrong length of measured line (L₁) = 840.5
Wrong length of chain (l₁) = 20.1 m
Correct length of chain (l) = 20 m
Correct length of measured line (L) = ?
L × l = L₁ × l₁
L × 20 = 840.5 × 20.1
L = (840.5 × 20.1)/20
▭(L=844.7 m)
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. In case of direct Vernier, graduation increase in the same direction in which graduations of the main scale increases.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol.
True Bearing = Magnetic Bearing + Magnetic declination (East)
= 50°30’ + 4°30’
= 55°
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol.
▭(Error=(Difference between face left and face right observation)/2)
Error = (3’)/2
▭(Error=1°30″)
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Reciprocal levelling is used to determine the correct difference of elevations of two points. It eliminates the error due to curvature of earth, atmospheric refraction, and collimation error.
