Curvature correction to staff reading in a differential leveling survey is a) Always subtractive b) Always zero c) Always additive d) Dependent on latitude A bench mark has been established at the soffit of an ornamental arch at the known elevation of 100.0m above mean sea level. The back sight used to establish height of instrument is a inverted staff reading of 2.105m. a forward sight reading with normally held staff of 1.105mm is taken on recently constructed plinth. The elevation of the plinth is a) 103.210m b) 101.000m c) 99.000m d) 96.790m 6.

A bench mark (BM) with reduced level (RL) =155.305m has been established at the floor of a room. It is required to find out the RL of the underside of the roof (R) of the room using spirit leveling. The back sight (BS) to the BM has been observed as 1.500m where as fore sight (FS) to R has been observed as 0.575(staff held inverted) the RL(m) of R will be a) 155.88 b) 156.23 c) 157.38 d) 157.86

Consider the following fig. which is an extract from a contour map (scale1:20,000) of an area. An alignment of a road at a ruling gradient of 4% is to be fixed from the point O and beyond. What should be the radius of arc with O as the centre to get the point of alignment on the next contour on the map?

The following measurements were made during testing a leveling instrument Instrument at staff reading at P 2.800m 1.700m Q 2.700m 1.800m is close to P and is close to Q. If the reduced level of station P is 100.000m, the reduced level of station Q is a) c) 0.025cm b) 0.25cm 2.5cm d) 5.0cm
