d) Write down at least four differences between systematic errors and random errors.
e) Write down the at least four properties of the spherical triangle.
f) Define the following terms:
i) Celestial sphere ii) Zenith and Nadir iii) Declination iv) Hour Circle
Q 2. Answer any four parts of the following. 5x4
a) What are the points to be borne in mind for selecting a (i) base line and =20
(ii) triangulation station.
b) Calculate the strength of figure parameter (D-C)/D for a braced quadrilateral assuming
all the stations have been occupied.
c) Two straights AI and BI meet at a chainage of 3450 m. A right-handed simple circular
curve of 250 m radius joins them. The deflection angle between the two straights is 50°.
Calculate the chainage of starting and end point of curve, long chord length, mid-ordinate
and apex distance.
d) Briefly explain the two principles of distance measurement in the EDM devices.
e) A rectangular plot of the land has sides along with probable errors 60.45 ± 0.04 m and
50.84 ± 0.03 m. What is the value area of the plot along with probable error?
f) List down the systems of coordinate used to locate the position of the heavenly bodies.
Why it is necessary to have several coordinates instead of one?
Q 3. Answer any two parts of the following. 10x2
a) A nominal distance of 30 m was set out with a steel tape from a mark on the top of one = 20
peg to a mark on the top of another, the tape being in catenary under a pull of 150 N and
at a mean temperature of 25°C. The top of one peg was 0.442 m above the top of the other.
Determine the horizontal, distance between the marks on the two pegs reduced to mean
sea level if the top of the higher peg is 195.57 m above mean sea level.
The tape which was standardized in catenary under a pull of 120 N and at a temperature
of 20°C had a mass of 0.026 kg/m and had a cross-sectional area of 3.25 mm². The
coefficient of linear expansion for the material of the tape may be taken as 0.000011 per
°C, and E as 20.7 x 104 MN/m². The radius of the earth may be taken as 6367 km.
