Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A surveyor consistently receives measurements for a straight line that are off by 5 centimeters due to a stretched measuring tape caused by heat exposure. How can the surveyor determine the systematic error present, and which corrective action should they take?

💡 Hint: Consider how temperature affects materials and what calibration means.

Question 2

A state requires accurate elevation measurements above the sea level, but the surveyors reported vastly different numbers at the same point, leading to significant discrepancies. Describe potential sources of both systematic and random errors.

💡 Hint: Think about equipment maintenance and human factors in measurement tasks.
