    This document contains the solutions to three problems from a surveying lab exercise. [1] For the first problem, the line of sight on a dumpy level is determined to not be in adjustment based on unequal rod readings, and corrections are calculated. [2] The second problem calculates the effects of earth curvature and atmospheric refraction on sight distances from 60-500 meters. [3] The third problem uses sight distance equations to calculate the height of a lighthouse based on a woman's eye height and the distance she can see the top of the lighthouse.

    NAME OF STUDENT: Jacinto, Aina Margauxe G. DATE: : April 16, 2021

    SECTION : ARCH-2C PROFESSOR : Engr. Mary Grace Gonzales

    COURSE : FAR 2209 - SURVEYING

    LAB EXERCISE 5

    PROBLEM NO. 1

    In the two-peg test of a dumpy level, the following observation are taken:

    Where…
    a = rod reading on A with instrument set up near A.
    b = rod reading on B with instrument set up near A.
    c = rod reading on B with instrument set up near B.
    d = rod reading on A with instrument set up near B

    a.) Determine if the line of sight is in adjustment and explain your answer.

    DEa = (a-b) DEb = (d-c)

    = 2.85m – 1.50m = 3.65 – 2.55


    = 1.35m = 1.1m

    The two differences in elevation are not equal. So, the line of sight is not in adjustment.
    b.) If the line of sight is not in adjustment, determine the correct rod reading on A with the instrument still
    set up near B.
    ( a−b )−(d−c)
    TDE= d’ = c + TDE
    2

    ( 2.85−1.50 ) −(3.65−2.55)
    TDE= d’ = 2.55 + 0.125
    2

    TDE= 0.125 d’ = 2.675m

    c.) Determine the error in the line of sight for the net distance AB

    E = d – d’
    E = 3.65 – 2.675
    E = 0.975m

    d.) Explain how the line of sight of the instrument should be adjusted.

    *To adjust the line of sight, the horizontal cross hair should read 0.919m (or d’) on the rod held at A
    while the instrument is still set up near B.

    PROBLEM NO. 2

    Determine the combined effects of the earth’s curvature and atmospheric refraction on sight distances
    of 60, 90, 120, 150, 500 meters.
    2
    60
    h’60 = 0.0675 K² = 0.0675 ( 1000 ) = 0.000243m
    90
    h’90 = 0.0675 K² = 0.0675 ( ¿ ² = 0.000547m
    1000

    120
    h’90 = 0.0675 K² = 0.0675 ( )² = 0.000972m
    1000

    120
    h’90 = 0.0675 K² = 0.0675 ( )² = 0.001519m
    1000

    500
    h’90 = 0.0675 K² = 0.0675 ( ) ² = 0.016875m
    1000
    PROBLEM NO. 3

    A woman standing on a beach can just see the top of a lighthouse 24.140 km away. If her eye height
    above sea level is 1.738m, determine the height of the lighthouse above sea level.

    Solution:

    hw' = 0.0671(K1) ²

    1.738 = 0.0671(K1) ²

    K = 5.089 kms.

    K2 = K - K1

    K2 = 24.140 - 5.089 = 19.051kms.

    h'L= 0.0671 (K2) ²

    h’L = 0.0671(19.051) ² = 24.353 m
