Geomatics 4th Evaluation

This document contains 6 questions related to map projections and geodetic calculations. Question 1 asks to compute the tangent distance at a point with given latitude and eccentricity in a polyconic projection. Question 2 asks to compute the isometric latitude given the geodetic latitude and ellipsoid parameters in a conformal projection. Question 3 asks to compute plane coordinates from given geodetic coordinates using Lambert projection parameters. Question 4 asks to compute the difference in radii between two latitudes on Clarke's Spheroid. Questions 5 and 6 ask to compute longitude and geodetic distance, respectively, given plane coordinates and Lambert projection parameters.

Geomatics 4th Evaluation

Date: 6/16/16
Map Projection
Problems
Question No. 1

 In a polyconic projection, instead of a single cone, a


series of conical surfaces maybe used, points on the
surface of the Earth being considered as projected
to a series of frustums of a cone that are fitted
together. Each parallel of latitude appears as the arc
of a circle having as radius the corresponding
tangent distance. The centers of these circles all lie
in the central meridian of the map. If the length of
the Earth’s equatorial radius is 6384 km and the
latitude of the point to be plotted is 24°N with an
eccentricity of 0.082271854, compute the length of
the tangent distance at this point towards the central
meridian.
Question No. 2

 In conformal projection, instead of expressing


the map coordinates x and y with known
geodetic coordinates of latitude and longitude,
an intermediate surface is introduced which is
known as the isometric plane. The map
coordinates x and y are expressed as functions
of isometric latitude and longitude. Compute the
isometric latitude at a point whose geodetic
latitude is 30°. The length of the semi-major axis
is 6380 km and the semi-minor axis is 6357 km.
Question No. 3

 The latitude and longitude for a control


station in a certain place is 41°21’10.403” and
121°05’20.541”. From the data available from
the tables are as follows:
C = 2,000,000 ft Φ = 0°35’44.3869”
R = 24,062,793.85 ft Rb = 24,792,436.23 ft
Compute x and y plane coordinates for the
point of the Lambert projection.
Question No. 4

 Compute the difference in radius between the


points having latitudes 40° and 41°40’,
respectively on the Earth’s surface if Clarke’s
Spheroid was to be used.
Question No. 5

 The plane coordinates of a certain plane


plotted on a Lambert projection is x =
2,269,500.94 ft and y = 778,680.42 ft.
Compute the longitude of this place from the
table
Rb = 24,792,496.23 ft
C = 2,000,000 ft
L = 0.6538843192
Central Meridian is 122° W
Question No. 6

 Given the plane coordinates of points A and


B in a map projected by using the Lambert
Projection as follows:
Point x y
A 2,250,159.06 m 730,942.76 m
B 2,269,500.94 m 778,680.42 m
If the average factor for A and B is equal to
0.9999441, compute the geodetic distance
between A and B.
