Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A fly levelling process started with a benchmark at 99.500 m. Given BS readings of 1.050 m and FS readings of 2.850 m for the first point, calculate the RL.
💡 Hint: Use the fly levelling technique to connect the readings.
In reciprocal levelling across a river, readings at point A provide a height of 10.500 m, while point B provides 10.350 m. How do you find the true difference in heights?
💡 Hint: Consider both sets of readings when calculating.
