To finalize the direction of a survey, four surveyors set up a theodolite at a station P and performed all the temporary adjustments. From the station P, each of the surveyors observed the bearing to a tower located at s...
A child walks on a level surface from point P to point Q at a bearing of 30°, from point Q to point R at a bearing of 90° and then directly returns to the starting point P at a bearing of 240°. The straight-line paths PQ...
A bird is resting on a point P at a height of 8 m above the Mean Sea Level (MSL). Upon hearing a loud noise, the bird flies parallel to the ground surface and reaches a point Q which is located at a height of 3 m above M...
A delivery agent is at a location R. To deliver the order, she is instructed to travel to location P along straight-line paths of RC, CA, AB and BP of 5 km each. The direction of each path is given in the table below as...
A line between stations P and Q laid on a slope of 1 in 5 was measured as 350 m using a 50 m tape. The tape is known to be short by 0.1 m. The corrected horizontal length (in m) of the line PQ will be
