d- in a surveying work the elevation of first point was 95m , the values of F.S and B.S readings are (1.06, 1.41) respectively. The elevation of second point is: O 95.85 95.35 O 95.15
Problem In a topographic survey undertaken by Karman Sury. Corp. before any leveling is conducted, the engineers usually check whether the engineers level is In perfect adjustment. A two peg test is used to check whether the line of sight is in perfect adjustment and the following rod readings are taken, with instrument set up near A, on A is 1.623 m and foresight reading on B is 2.875 m with the instrument set up near B backsight on B is 1.622 m and a foresight on A is 0.362 m A. Compute the difference in elevation between A and B . B. What should be the correct rod reading on A to give a level line of sight with the instrument still set up at B? C. What should have been the reading on B with the instrument at A to give a level line of sight?

An elevation must be established on a benchmark on an island that is 520.02 ft from the nearest benchmark on the lake's shore. The surveyor decides to use a total station that has a stated distance measuring accuracy of +(3 mm + 3 ppm) and a vertical compensator accurate to within +0.4". The height of the instrument was 5.26 ft with an estimated error of +0.1 ft. The prism height was 6.00 ft with an estimated error of ±0.01 ft. The single zenith angle is read as 96°07'34". The estimated errors in instrument and target centering are +0.003 ft. If the elevation of the occupied benchmark is 85.57 ft, what is the corrected benchmark elevation on the island? (Assume that the instrument does not correct for Earth curvature and refraction.)
