Leveling Problem Solution

Understanding the Concepts

* R.L. (Reduced Level): The elevation of a point with respect to a common datum (e.g., mean sea

level).

* Back-sight (BS): The first reading taken on a point of known R.L. after setting up the leveling

instrument. It's used to determine the Height of Instrument (H.I.).

* Fore-sight (FS): The last reading taken from a particular instrument setup on a point whose R.L. is

to be determined or carried forward.

* Height of Instrument (H.I.): The elevation of the line of sight of the leveling instrument.

* H.I. = R.L. of known point + Back-sight reading

* R.L. of new point: R.L. = H.I. - Fore-sight reading

Given Data

* R.L. of point A (on the floor) = 100 m

* Back-sight reading on A = 2.455 m

* Fore-sight reading on point B (on the ceiling) = 2.745 m

Calculations

* Calculate the Height of Instrument (H.I.):

Since the back-sight reading is taken on point A (which is on the floor), we add the BS reading to the

R.L. of A.

H.I. = R.L. of A + Back-sight reading on A

H.I. = 100 m + 2.455 m

H.I. = 102.455 m

* Calculate the R.L. of point B (on the ceiling):


The fore-sight reading on point B is taken on the ceiling. This means the line of sight (H.I.) is below

point B.

To get the R.L. of B, we need to add the fore-sight reading to the H.I.

This is a common point of confusion; usually, for points below the H.I., you subtract the FS,

but when the FS is to a point above the H.I. (like a ceiling), you add it.

Think of it as the instrument's line of sight being at H.I., and the reading tells you how far down

the instrument is from the point being measured. If the point is on the ceiling, the staff is inverted,

and the reading is essentially an "upward" measurement from the H.I.

R.L. of B = H.I. + Fore-sight reading on B

R.L. of B = 102.455 m + 2.745 m

R.L. of B = 105.200 m

Conclusion

The R.L. of point B will be 105.20 m.

Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer.
