The document contains 6 survey questions involving leveling, traversing, and coordinate adjustment. Question 1 involves reducing leveling data using rise and fall or height of plane of collimation methods. Question 2 asks to reduce leveling data and show working. Question 3 defines accuracy, precision, and asks to evaluate leveling data. Question 4 asks to adjust angular errors and calculate bearings in a closed traverse. Question 5 asks to adjust angular errors and calculate coordinates of stations in a closed traverse. Question 6 asks to determine coordinates after adjusting a closed traverse by two methods.

Question 1:

(a) The data from a survey, are shown below. Use either the Rise and Fall method or the Height of
Plane of Collimation (HPC) method to reduce the data. Use arithmetic checks to support your answer

TBM 43.000, Level readings: 0.771, (1.552, 0.802), 2.311, (1.990, 3.580), 1.220, 3.675, (4.020, 2.408),
0.339, 0.157

Question 2:

The following readings were taken with a level and 4 m staff. Draw up a level book page and reduce
the levels by both the Rise and Fall method and the height of instrument method. Show your
computations and checks.

0.578 B.M.(= 58.000 m), 0.933, 1.768, 2.450, (2.265 and 0.560) C.P., 1.888, 1.181, (3.579 and 0.616)
C.P., 0.705, 1.810

Question 3:

(a) What are systematic and what are random errors? .

(b) Define the terms accuracy and precision.

(c) Three groups carried out a levelling survey. The measurements of the elevation of the same point
are shown in the following tables for each group. The true elevation of the point measured is
+50.000m. Describe the results of each group in terms of accuracy and precision.

Group 1 Group 2 Group 3

49.991 46.004 48.050

49.997 46.009 53.300

50.003 45.900 46.200

Question 4:

The angles at the stations of a closed traverse ABCDEFA were observed as given below:

Traverse Station Included Angles


A 120°35′00′′
B 89°23′40′′
C 131°01′00′′
D 128°02′20′′
E 94°54′40′′
F 155°59′20′′
Adjust the angular error in the observations, if any, and calculate the bearings of the traverse lines in
the following systems if whole circle bearing of the line AB is 42°: Use the Whole circle bearing in
sexagesimal system.

Question 5:

A closed-loop traverse ABCDA was run around an area and the following observations were made:
Length A-B = 177.5m, included angle at A = 86°30′03″ and Azimuth AB = 140°11′39″. Length BC =
386.7, included angle at B = 80°59′36″. Length CD = 116.1m and included angle at C= 91°31′27″.
Length DA = 360.8 and included angle at D = 100°59′15″.

Adjust the angular error, if any, and calculate the coordinates of other stations if the coordinates of
the station A are E1500 m and N1500 m.

Question 6:

The data given in Table below, were obtained for an anti-clockwise closed-loop traverse. The
coordinates of the station A are E1000 m and N1000 m. Determine the correct coordinates of all the
traverse stations after adjusting the traverse by

(i) Bowditch’s method

(ii) Transit rule.

Internal angles Length (m) Bearing


∠A = 130°18′48″ AB = 17.098 AF = 136°25′12″
∠B = 110°18′20″ BC = 102.925
∠C = 99°32′30″ CD = 92.782
∠D = 116°18′07″ DE = 33.866
∠E = 119°46′05″ EF = 63.719
∠F = 143°46′22″ FA = 79.097
