Surveying miscellaneous

  1. The following table gives data of consecutive co-ordinates in respect of a closed theodolite traverse PQRSP.

    The magnitude and direction of error of closure in whole circle bearing are
    1. 2.0 m and 45°
    2. 2.0 m and 315°
    3. 2.82 m and 315°
    4. 3.42 m and 45°
Correct Option: C

∑L = 400.75 + 100.25 – 199 – 300 = 2
∑D = – 300.5 + 199.25 + 399.75 – 200.5 = – 2
Error of closure = √(∑C)² + (∑D)² = √4 + 4 = 2√2

tan θ =
∑D
= - 1
∑L

∴ θ = 315°
