chain-surveying-the-compass

1. To continue a survey line AB past an obstacle, a line BC 100 m long was set out perpendicular to AB and from C angles BCD and BCE were set out at 60° and 45° respectively. Determine lengths which must be chained off along CE in order that ED may be in AB produced?


2. An offset is measured with an accuracy of 1 in 40. If scale of plotting is 1 cm = 20 m, find limiting length of offset so that displacement of point on paper from both sources of error may not exceed 0.25 mm?


3. Prismatic compass is an instrument for measuring angles.


4. Which of following variations are due to magnetic storms?


5. Which of following instruments can be used without a tripod?


6. What is direction of line relative to a given meridian?


7. In surveyor’s compass needle is of edge bar type.


8. What is systematic departure of declination from its mean value during a period of 24 hours?


9. In prismatic compass, graduations are in W.C.B system.


10. The horizontal angle between true meridian and magnetic meridian shown by needle at time of observation is called __
