Problem Solving No. 1

The document contains 20 survey problem solving questions related to measuring distances and angles using tapes that may be too long or short, accounting for temperature variations, calculating areas and bearings, and determining precision. The problems require calculating corrected distances and angles, errors, and conversions between angle measurement systems.

1. The correct distance between point E and F is 213.5 m. If a 100 m. tape that is 0.025 m. too long
is used to measure EF, what will be the measured distance in meters?
2. A 50 m. tape that is 0.02 m. too short is to measure distance AB. If the correct distance of AB is
160.484 m., what is the measured distance?
3. A 50 m. tape is 0.03 m. too short is used to measure distance AB. The measured distance is
recorded to be 140.542 m. Find the corrected distance.
4. The sides of a square lot having a measured area of 2.25 hectares were measured using a 100 m.
tape that was 0.04 m. too short. Compute the error in the area in sq.m.
5. A steel tape is 100 m. long at a standard pull of 65 N. Compute the pull correction in mm if
during measurements the applied pull is 40 N. The tape has a cross sectional area of 3.18 mm2
and a modulus of elasticity E = 200 GPa.
6. A line was measured with a 50 m. tape. There were 2 tallies, 8 pins, and the distance from the
last pin to the end of the line was 2.25 m. Find the length of the length of the line in meters?
7. A 50 m. length of tape is of standard length at temp. of 50.76 °C. At a temperature of 68°, what
would be the error in the length of tape if K = 0.0000116 m/°C?
8. A 30 m. tape which is of standard length at a temp. of 20°C is used to measure a line with a
measured distance of 412 m. The temp. during the time of measurement was 52°C. IF the
coefficient of thermal expansion of the tape is 0.0000116 m/C, determine the corrected length
of the line.
9. A rectangular lot was being measured using a 30 m. long tape. During standardization the tape is
found to be 0.06 m. too long. The recorded dimensions were 70.50 m. long and 37.10 m. wide.
What is the error in area?
10. What is the equivalent value of 405 degrees in mils?
11. What is the equivalent value of 9600 mils in degrees?
12. What is the equivalent value of 350 grads in degrees?
13. What is the equivalent value of 450° in grads?
14. A 100 m. tape weighing 0.03 kg/m is used to measure distance AB. The tape is supported at both
end points and at its quarter points. The applied tension is 6 kg. Compute the total sag
correction.
15. A 100 m. steel tape weighing 0.04 kg/m is constantly supported at mid length and at its end
points. If a steady pull of 16.5 kg is applied, determine the correction due to sag.
16. The interior angles A, B, and C of a triangular traverse were measured with the same precision.
Find the most probable value of angle A, B, and C.
17. Compute the probable error of the following measured distance of line AB and the precision.
18. A line has a magnetic bearing of S 41° 30’ E when the declination was 1° 30’ E. What is the true
bearing of the line if a local attraction of 3° 30’ to the east at the vicinity?
19. A line has a magnetic bearing of S 41° 30’ E when the declination was 1° 30’ E. What is the true
bearing of the line if a local attraction of 3° 30’ to the east of the vicinity?
20. The lines OA and OB whose magnetic bearings are N 39° 25’ W and N 75° 50’ E respectively,
what is the angle between the lines?
