Solve the following problems. Write your answer on the space provided below.
1. In five trials of walking along a 90-m course on a fairly level ground, a pacer for a survey
party counted 51, 52.5, 51.5, 52.5, and 51.5 strides respectively. He then started walking an
unknown distance XY in four trials which were recorded as follows: 88.5, 89, 88, and 87 strides.
Determine the following:
a) Pace factor of the pacer
SOLUTION:
Given:
L = 90m
N1 = 5
SUM1 = (51+52.5+51.5+52.5+51.5)
= 259 strides or 518 paces
518
M1 = SUM1 / n1 = = 103.6 paces
5
90
PF = L / M1 = = 0.869 m/ paces
103.6

b) Length of the line XY


SOLUTION:
Given:
n2 = 4

SUM2 = (88.5+89+88+87) = 352.5 strides or 705 paces


705
M2 = SUM2 / n2 = = 176.25 paces
4
PACE DISTANCE = (M2)x(Pace Factor) = (176.25 paces)(0.869 m/pace)
= 153.2 m (paced length of line XY)

c) Percentage of error in the measurement. If the taped length in the measurement if the
taped length of XY is 150.5 meters.
SOLUTION:
Given:
TD = 150.5m
PD = 153.2m
Percentage Error = (TD-PD / TD)(100%)
= (150.5 – 153.2 / 150.5)(100%)
= 1.79%

2. A 50 m tape was standardized and was found to be 0.0042 m too long than the standard length
at an observed temperature of 58℃ and a pull of 15 kilos. The same tape was used to measure a
certain distance and was recorded to be 673.92 m long at an observed temperature of 68℃ and a
pull of 15 kilos. Coefficient of linear expansion is 0.0000116 m /℃.
GIVEN:
T2 = 58⁰C
Ct = 0.0042 m
L = 50 m.
K = 0.0000116 m/⁰C

a) Determine the standard temperature.


Solution:
CT = K(T2−T1)L1
+0.0042 = 0.0000116(58 − T1)(50)
𝐓𝟏 = 𝟓𝟎. 𝟕𝟔℃

b) Determine the total correction.


Solution:
CT = K(T−T1)L1
CT = 0.0000116(68 − 50.76)(50)
CT = 0.0

673.92(0.01)
Total Correction =
50
𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 = 𝟎. 𝟏𝟑𝟒𝟖𝐦.

c) Determine the true length of the line.


Solution:
Corrected hor. Distance = 673.92 + 0.1348
Corrected hor. Distance = 674.055 m

3. A 30 m steel tape is 2 mm too long at 20℃ with a pull of 55 N. A rectangle is measured with
this tape. The sides are recorded as 144.95 m and 113.00 m. The average temperature during the
measurement is 30℃ with a pull of 55 N. Use coefficient of expansion of steel tape as a
0.0000116 m /℃.
GIVEN:
Length of tape L=30m
Extra length of tape,
ΔL=2mm
ΔL=2x10-3m
T=20°
ΔT=30°-20°
ΔT=10°
l=144.95m
b=113m
Pull=55kn
=0.0000116/°C

a) Compute the actual length of tape during measurement.


SOLUTION:
L’ = L (1+ΔT)
L’ =30 x (1+0.0000116x10)
L’ =30.00348 m

The total length of tape


L”=30.00348+2x10-3
L”=30.00548m

Therefore, the actual length of tape during measurement is 30.00548m.

b) What is the true area?


Actual side of rectangle are Length
l’=l x L} over {L ¿
144.95 x 30.00548
l’=
30
l’= 144.9765m

Breadth
b’= b x L } over {L¿
113 x 30.00548
b’=
30
b’=113.02064m
True Area
A’=l’ x b’
A’= 144.9765 x 113.02064
A’= 16385.334m2
Therefore, the true area is equal to 16385.334m2.
c) What is the error in area in sq. m.
Area
A=l x b
A=114.95 x 113m2
Error in Area
ΔA=A’- A
ΔA=16385.334 – (114.95 x 113)
ΔA=5.983m2

Therefore, the error in are in sq. m is 5.983m2.

4. A baseline was measured using a 100 m tape which is standardized at 15℃ with a standard
pull of 10 kg. The recorded distance was found out to be 430.60 meters. At the time of
measurement, the temperature was 20℃ and the pull exerted was 16 kg. The weight of one cubic
cm of steel is 7.86 g weight of tape is 2.67 kg. , E = 2 x 106kg/cm2, K= 7 x 107 m℃
Given:
LT = 100 m T1 = 15°C
T2 = 20°C P1 = 10 kg
TD = 430.60 m P2 = 20 kg
W = 2.67 kg E = 2x10⁶ kg/cm²
k = 7x10⁻⁷ m/°C A =?
Unit weight of steel = 7.86 gr. per cu. Cm

a) Determine the cross sectional area of the tape


Error for Temperature:
𝑒𝑇 = 𝛼𝐿∆𝑇 = (0.0000007/°𝐶)(100𝑚)(20°𝐶 − 15°𝐶)

𝑒𝑝 = 0.0088 𝑚

b) Compute the total correction


Total error of the tape:
𝐸𝑇 = 𝑒𝑇 + 𝑒𝑃
𝐸𝑇 = 0.00035 + 0.0088
𝐸𝑇 = 0.00915m

5. A line AB cannot be measured directly because of an obstruction on line. Accordingly, the


two lines AC and CB were measured as 2,400.850 m and 1,320.420 m, respectively. Point C was
set at a perpendicular distance of 155 m form point D on line AB. Using the approximate slope
correction formula for steep slopes, determine the length of AB.
Formula:

d1 = 2400.85m –¿
d1 = 2,395.842m

d2 = 2,395.842m –¿
d2 = 1,311.292m

D= d1 + d2
D= 2,395.842m + 1,311.292m
D= 3,707.134
