Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You set up your instrument at a height of 2.5 m, measure an angle of depression of 10° to a staff at a distance of 2000 m. Apply curvature correction and find the R.L.

💡 Hint: Don't forget to consider both mixture of measurements—height and curvature.

Question 2

If the elevation of the instrument is decreased by 1 m, how does this affect the R.L. of the measurement taken at the same distance and angle of depression?

💡 Hint: Think about how elevation changes affect overall calculations.
