Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A Total Station measures a horizontal angle of 45 degrees and a vertical angle of 30 degrees. If the distance to the target is 100 meters, calculate the coordinates of the target point assuming the Total Station is at the origin.

💡 Hint: Use trigonometric conversions for both horizontal distance and elevation.

Question 2

In a surveying operation, a Total Station requires atmospheric corrections due to high humidity. If the measured distance is 500 meters, and atmospheric distortion is 2%, calculate the corrected distance.

💡 Hint: You must understand how atmospheric conditions impact the specifics of distance measurement.
