Surveying and Levelling

Subtopic: Contouring

Question Statement:

In levelling with a dumpy level, a backsight of $1.450\text{ m}$ is taken on a benchmark of $RL = 100.000\text{ m}$. A foresight of $2.150\text{ m}$ is then taken on change point $CP_1$. The reduced level ($RL$) of $CP_1$ (in meters) is:

Answer Key:

99.3

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Height of Instrument: $HI = RL_{BM} + BS = 100.000 + 1.450 = 101.450\text{ m}$ Reduced Level of $CP_1$: $RL_{CP1} = HI - FS = 101.450 - 2.150 = 99.300\text{ m}$
