Measurement of Horizontal Distances Problem Set 2 1. PACING. in Walking Along A 75-m Course, The Pacer of A Field Party Counted

This document describes a problem involving measuring horizontal distances by pacing. A field party measured their pace over a known 75m distance, calculating their pace factor. They then measured their pace over an unknown distance between two markers. Using their calculated pace factor, the number of paces over the unknown distance, and some calculations, they determined the distance between the two markers to be 181.50m.

MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL DISTANCES

Problem Set 2

1. PACING. In walking along a 75-m course, the pacer of a field party counted
43.50, 44.00, 43.50, 43.75, 44.50, and 43.25 strides. Then 105.50, 106.00,
105.75, and 106.25 strides were counted in walking from one marker to another
established along a straight and level course. Determine the distance between
the two markers.
Given:
43.50, 44.00, 43.50, 43.75, 44.50, 43.25 strides for 75-m course
105.50, 106.00, 105.75, 106.25 strides for x
Requirements:
Distance between the two markers, x
Illustration:

75 m

Solution:

75m
Pace factor =
(43.50 + 44.00 + 43.50 + 43.75 + 44.50 + 43.25) strides
( )

75m
Pace factor = 87.50 paces

m
Pace factor = 0.857 pace
x = (pace factor)(mean number of pace)

m 2 paces
x = [0.857 pace] [(105.875 strides) ( stride )]

m
x = [0.857 pace] [211.75 paces]
