20. Which is false regarding the clinometer
compass
i. The geographic directions are spelled out
from 0 to 360° on the compass dial's outer
circle
ii. The stylus hangs tightly and serves as a
plumbline when the dial is held vertically
iii. Has an inner scale with 90° divisions on
either side of the zero mark
iv. The clinometer comes in several models,
but the basic principle of construction is
retained though some of them.
a. i & ii
b. iii & iv
c. ii & iv
d. None of the above
Explanation:
The 2nd statement must be that the stylus
hangs "freely" while the 4th statement should
be that "but the basic principle of
construction is retained though ALL of
them".
