Module 3a. Suplementary Problems

This document contains instructions and data for multiple surveying problems involving compass and theodolite measurements. It includes: 1) An open compass traverse with 6 lines and observed forward/back bearings to be adjusted. 2) A closed compass traverse with 5 lines and observed forward/back bearings and lengths to be adjusted. 3) Three problems calculating index corrections from vertical angle measurements. 4) A problem calculating adjusted vertical angle readings from observations. 5) Two problems calculating angles from measured directions using a directional theodolite, finding individual angles and their means.

Module 3a. Supplementary Problem.

a. Open Compass Traverse.


The following are the observed data for an open compass traverse. Adjust the
observed directions and tabulate values accordingly.

LINE LENGTH OBSERVED BEARING


FORWARD BACK
AB 452.50 m S 40º 25’ W N 40º 30’ E
BC 405.65 m S 55º 40’ W N 55º 50’ E
CD 495.08 m N 36º 15’ W S 35º 55’ E
DE 284.15 m N 73º 10’ W S 75º 30’ E
EF 367.29 m S 44º 45’ W N 44º 45’ E
FG 217.73 m S 20º 30’ E N 21º 00’ W

b. Closed Compass Traverse.


The following ate the observed length and magnetic bearings of a closed compass
traverse

LINE LENGTH OBSERVED BEARING


FORWARD BACK
AB 330.75 m N 34˚ 55’ E S 35˚ 00’ W
BC 305.43 m N 56 ˚30’ W S 56˚ 45’ E
CD 325.28 m S 75˚ 45’ W N 76˚ 00’ E
DE 201.10 m S 42˚ 15’ W N 42˚ 15’ E
EF 225.25 m S 38˚ 45’ E N 39˚ 0’ W
FA 375.55 m S 85˚ 15’ E N 85˚ 30’ W

Adjust the observed directions of each line and tabulate the values accordingly

c. Index Correction.
1. A vertical angle is measured to a signal mounted top of a tall building. With the telescope
in the normal position, the reading on the circle is +32˚ 22’. Also, the reading on the same
circle is +32˚ 22’with the telescope in the inverted. Determine the following. a) Index
error, b) Index correction, c) correct vertical angle.
2. To determine the possibility of error in angular measurement with a transit, the following
vertical circle readings were recorded for sightings made on a distant point P: -19˚ 34’
( telescope direct ) and P: -19˚38’ (telescope reversed). Using the same instrument, a
point 0 was observed and the recorded vertical angle reading was -29˚ 14’ with telescope
in direct position. Determine the adjusted value of a vertical angle reading at point O.
3. In laying off a vertical angle, the instrumentman sights the transit in the direction of a
point to be established on top of a hill. He brings the telescope horizontal, centers the
telescope bubble and reads +0˚ 04’ on the vertical circle. Determine the correct reading to
be set on the vertical circle in order to establish a vertical angle equal to -25˚ 46’
d. Angles from measured direction.
1. The following directions were observed using a direction theodolite that reads in
grads. Compute the three angles for each position and the mean of each of the
three angles. Also show check.

2. A theodolite was used in observing the following tabulates direction in which


three position of the circle were used.
