IV. Refer Fig._1 to do the following three questions (10%)

● In stadia field data collection the reading and recording parameters are as follows:

- horizontal Angle measurement (HA) 3o°00’50’’

- Vertical Angle measurement (V) 10°05’16’’
-Staff- intercept (S) 1. 4m

- Instrument station a -Station height (BM) 1690m

- Instrument height (hi) 1. 54m - Additive Constant (C) 0
-Multiplying Factor ( K) 100

1. Compute horizontal distance between a and b.

2. Find Zenith angle by referring given Vertical angle.
3. Compute Vertical Angle if horizontal distance between a and b
is 3 .5m
