Which one of the following statements is TRUE with respect to levelling survey?
The height of the plane of collimation of a levelling instrument is 100.000 m from a datum. The levelling instrument measures a Back Sight of 1.500 m on a vertically held staff at a ground point P. The reduced level (in...
For the traverse given below, the benchmark is at ground point L. The Reduced Level (RL) of L is 150.000 m. The direction of the traverse is from L to N. The readings on levelling staff using the same levelling instrumen...
Locations P and Q are separated by a wide valley. The difference in levels of locations P and Q measured by a levelling instrument stationed near P is 3.0 m. The same instrument stationed near Q measures the difference i...
The following consecutive readings (in m) were taken with a dumpy level and a levelling staff at a common interval of 20 m: 0.385; 1.030; 1.925; 2.825; 3.730; 4.850; 1.045; 2.005; 3.330; 4.580 The dumpy level was shifted...
In levelling between two points A and B on the opposite banks of a river, the readings are taken by setting the instrument both at A and B, as shown in the table. If the RL of A is 150.000 m, the RL of B (in m) is ______...
Differential levelling is carried out from point P (BM: +200.000 m) to point R. The readings taken are given in the table. Staff readings (m) Points Back Sight Fore Sight Remarks P (-)2.050 BM: +200.000 m Q 1.050 0.950 Q...
Trigonometric levelling was carried out from two stations P and Q to find the reduced level (R. L.) of the top of hillock, as shown in the table. The distance between Stations P and Q is 55 m. Assume Stations P and Q, an...
