Surveying miscellaneous

  1. The Reduced Levels (RLs) of the points P and Q are +49.600 m and +51.870 m respectively. Distance PQ is 20 m. The distance (in m from P) at which the +51.000 m contour cuts the line PQ is
    1. 15.00
    2. 12.33
    3. 3.52
    4. 2.27
Correct Option: B


P and O are in same line at R. L = + 49.60 m
In ∆POQ,

sin θ =
OQ
=
(51.870 - 49.6)
= 0.1135
PQ20

We have to find PS.
In ∆PSR
sin θ =
SR
=
(51.0 - 49.6)
PSPS

0.1135 =
1.4
PS

∴ PS = 12.33 m
