11. A survey line PQ intersects a pond. To continue this line past this obstacle, two
stations M and N were taken on either of the pond. A line MS, 90 m long was laid
down on the left of MN and a second line MR, 130 m long was laid down on the right
of MN, the points S, N and R being on the same straight line. SN and NR were then
measured and found to be 75 m and 78 m respectively. Determine the length of MN.

14. A river is flowing from West to East. For determining the width of the river two
points A and B are selected on the southern bank such that the distance AB =75
m. Point A is westward. The bearing of a tree C on the northern bank are observed
to be 38° and 338° respectively from A and B. Calculate the width of a river.
15. A metric chain of 30 m length too short by one link was used to measure the
lengths of the sides of triangular plot. The lengths measured were 413 links, 467
links and 536 links. Find the true area of the plot.
16. A 30 m chain was found to be 4 cm too long after chaining a distance of 1550 m.
The same chain at the end of the day’s work after chaining a distance of 2200 m
was found to be 6 cm too long. What is the length totally chained if the chain was
exactly 30 m when the work was commenced?
17. A rectangular plot was measured with a 20 m chain which was 5 cm too short.
The measured length of the diagonal was 1085 m. The sides of the plot bear a
ratio of 3:2. Find the true area of the plot.
18. A steel tape of nominal length 30 m was used to measure a line AB by suspending
it between supports. If the measured length was 29.861 m when the slope angle
was 3° 45′ and the mean temperature and tension applied were respectively 10° C
and 100 N, determine the corrected horizontal length. The standard length of the
tape was 30.004 m at 20 ° C and 44.5 N tension. The tape weighed 0.16 N/m and
had a cross – sectional area of 2 mm2. E = 2 x 105 N/mm2. α = 1.12 x

AD. The points B, C, and C being in the straight line. BD and DC were then
chained and found to be 125 m and 150 m respectively. Find the length of AD?
