Problem 1
Line AB 100 m long was paced by a surveyor four
times with the following data: 144, 145, 143, 146.
Another line CD was paced for four times again with
the following results: 893, 892, 894, 895.
a. Find the pace factor of the surveyor.
b. Determine the actual length of line CD.
c. If line CD was at elevation of 478m above the sea
level and the radius of the earth is 6400km,
determine the reduced distance of line CD along
the sea level.
Problem 2
From the given data of differential leveling shown,
a. What is the value of HI in the 2nd setup.
b. Find the elevation of TP5.
c. Determine the elevation of BM2.
