Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A Total Station shows readings that consistently off by 2 centimeters due to misalignment. If a project requires precision within 5 centimeters over a distance of 200 meters, assess if this meets the criteria.

💡 Hint: Analyze the relationship of distance to allowable error.

Question 2

Consider a scenario where two surveyors use different calibration methods for their optical plummets, leading to discrepancies in data. Discuss how they can resolve this issue effectively.

💡 Hint: Think about collaborative practices in surveying.
