    Question

    When (h) is the difference in heights between the extremities of a chain length (l) then the correction for the slope required is-

    A.

    h/l

    B.

    h²/6

    C.

    h²/2l

    D.

    h/20

    Correct option is C


    The correction for the slope in chain surveying is used to account for the difference in height between the two ends of a chain length.
    The formula for the slope correction
    When surveying over a sloped ground, the measured horizontal distance is affected by the slope. To obtain the correct horizontal distance, we need to apply a correction for the slope.
