Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A tacheometer at station A has a known height and three staff readings of 1.5, 2.2, and 3.0 meters. If K = 120 and RL of A = 150.0 m, calculate D and RL of the point observed.

💡 Hint: Make sure to follow the steps carefully, calculating each variable one by one!

Question 2

Given different values for K and various heights for the instrument, how would you adapt the calculation for a more complex project?

💡 Hint: Focus on how changes in constants affect the end result and adjust your methods accordingly.
