Exercise 12

Ex.12-1 Enumerate the order in which the permanent adjustment of a tilting level are carried out.

Ex.12-2 Describe the two peg method of permanent adjustment of a dumpy level.

Ex.12-3 In the two-peg test of a level, the following observations are taken:

 

Instrument at

 

M

P

Staff reading on A

3.612 m

1.862 m

Staff reading on B

3.248 m

0.946 m

M is equidistant from A and B, P is 40 m from A and 240 m from B. What is the true difference in elevation between the two points ? With the level in the same position at P, to what staff reading on B should the line of sight be adjusted ? What is the corresponding staff reading on A for a horizontal line of sight ? Check these two staff readings against the true difference in elevation, previously determined.
