Q. After levelling of an instrument is done what is the next up?

View solution

Q. To measure a horizontal angle, after releasing all clamps, we turn the upper and lower plates in the same direction.

View solution

Q. If one of the vernier is at 0° then another vernier reading shows / also shows ______

View solution

Q. To measure a horizontal angle by direct method is also called a repetition method.

View solution

Q. For measuring an angle to the highest degree of precision, several sets of repetitions are usually taken.

View solution

Q. In first method of taking single set, after keeping the telescope normal throughout we measure the angle clockwise by 6 repetitions. We obtain the first value of the angle by dividing the final reading by _______

View solution

Q. While measuring the set of observations, the transit should be levelled each time for high degree of precision.

View solution

Q. In order to measure the magnetic bearing of a line, the theodolite should be provided with ______

View solution

Q. Direct angles are angles measured clockwise from the preceding line to the following line.

View solution

Q. In measuring direct angles, azimuths from the back line may vary from 0° to 180°.

View solution

Q. A deflection angle is an angle in which a survey line makes with the prolongation of the preceeding line.

View solution

Q. How many methods are there for prolongation of a straight line?

View solution

Q. To run a straight line between two points, when both ends are inter visible. We establish intermediate points through ________

View solution

Q. To locate the point of intersection of two straight lines, we stretch a thread or string between two stakes, where line of sight cuts the string is over required point of intersection.

View solution

Q. Theodolite can be used to lay off a horizontal angle.

View solution

Q. The method of repetition is used when it is required to lay off an angle with greater precision than that possible by single observations.

View solution

Q. To measure a vertical angle, the instrument should be levelled with reference to the line of sight.

View solution

Q. Which of the following errors can be eliminated by a method of repetition?

i) errors due to eccentricity.
ii) errors due to in adjustments of line of collimation.
iii) error due to inaccurate graduations.
iv) error due to inaccurate bisection of the object.

View solution

Q. Sources of errors in transit work are broadly classified into ______ types.

View solution

Q. Error due to imperfect adjustment of plate levels comes under ________ error.
