FUNDAMENTALS OF SURVEYING 2 – FOS2

ASSIGNMENT 1

Problem 1, pg. 555. OMMITED MEASUREMENTS (Traverse 1). Given in the

accompanying tabulations, the length and direction of one side are unknown.
Compute the latitudes and departures of the given sides and determine the length
and bearing (or azimuth) of the omitted side.

Problem 3, pg. 556. OMMITED MEASUREMENTS (Traverse 1). Given in the

accompanying tabulations, the length of one side and the bearing (or azimuth) of an
adjoining side are unknown. Determine these unknown quantities.

Problem 7, pg. 557. OMMITED MEASUREMENTS (Traverse 1). In the

accompanying tabulations are the observed data of two traverses in which the lengths
of two non-adjoining are unknown. Plot each traverse to scale and transform
graphically each figure into one wherein the sides with unknown quantities are made
adjoining. Determine the unknown lengths in each traverse.

Problem 7, pg. 564. TRAPEZOIDAL RULE. A series of perpendicular offsets were

taken from a base line to a curved boundary line. These offsets were taken 3.5 meters
apart and were measured in the following order: 0.8, 3.6, 4.7, 5.3, 3.9, 2.7, 4.6, 5.5,
4.9, 7.6, 8.8, 5.4, and 6.0 meters. Using the trapezoidal rule, determine the area
included between the base line, the curved boundary, and the end offsets.

Problem 8, pg. 564. SIMPSON’S ONE-THIRD RULE. Using the same data given
in Problem 7, determine the required area this time using Simpson’s one third rule.

Problem 9, pg. 564. TRAPEZOIDAL RULE. In the accompanying sketch, it is

desired to determine the area of the sand bar by the indicated short offsets which
were measured on both sides of a base line AB. Using the trapezoidal rule,
determine the area of the sand bar. Also determine the same area by employing
Simpson’s one third rule and note the discrepancy in the area computed by the two
methods.

Problem 12, pg. 565. IRREGULARLY SHAPED OFFSETS.

Vertical measurements were taken at varying distances along a section of a stream

as illustrated in the accompanying figure. Determine the area (in sq. m.) of the
cross section.

Problem 1, pg. 567. PARTITION OF LAND. Given the adjusted latitudes and
adjusted departures of a closed traverse. Determine the length and direction of the
line FC which will divide the traverse into two parts.

Problem 3, pg. 568. PARTITION

OF LAND. Given the accompanying
plot for a surveyed tract of land.
Determine the length and bearing of
line DA which will divide the tract into
two parts.

Problem 5, pg. 568. PARTITION OF LAND. Using the same data given in Problem
1, determine the length and bearing of a line XY which will divide the traverse into
two parts. Point X, which is located along line AB, is 140.20m from B, and point Y
falls midway between traverse stations D and E.
