Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have an EDM that measures a distance of 1000 meters with a known error rate due to temperature. If the temperature drops, increasing the measurement error to ±10 mm/km, what will be your new estimated distance?

💡 Hint: Consider how the error scales with distance.

Question 2

What factors would you consider when setting up an EDM in a forested area where prisms are used extensively? Discuss strategies to mitigate potential errors.

💡 Hint: Think about visibility and environmental impacts.
