Question 1:
Why linen tape is not recommended to make measurement for accurate surveying purposes?
Question 2:
State the role of Arrors (pins), Pegs, Ranging rods and Plumb bob in distance measurments by tape.
Question 3:
Compare between Forward and Backward Alignment.
Question 4:
Explain the Dropping and Setting a Perpendicular methods.
Question 5:
Discuss the different types of surveying obstacles.

Question 6:

In figure(1), illustrate three different techniques to get

the length of the line AB using tapes only.

Question 7:
In figure (2), illustrate three different techniques to get the length
of the line AB using tapes only.
Question 8:
In figure (3), the line AB represents the center line of a certain
road. Describe how you can set out an extension for this
center line beyond the existing building using tapes only.

Question 9:
In figure (4), illustrate two different techniques to get the
length of the line AB using tapes only.

Question 10:
A distance of 2500.14 m was measured with a steel band of nominal length 50 m. On standardization the tape was
found to be 50.035 m. Calculate the correct measured distance, assuming the error is evenly distributed throughout the
tape.
Question 11:
Illustrate the main idea of measuring the distances using the EDM instrument.
Question 12:
To compute the prism constant of an EDM instrument, distances AC, AB, and BC along a straight line were observed
as 90.158 m, 60.025 m, and 30.164 m, respectively. What is the prism constant for this equipment?
Question 13:
Two distances (500 m and 4.8 km) were measured with an EDM instrument, whose accuracy is 3mm + 5ppm. Which
distance was measured with higher accuracy?
Question 14:
Two EDM instruments were used to measure a length of 10 km. The accuracies of such two instruments are:

EDM1 4 mm + 5 ppm
EDM2 7 mm + 4 ppm

Which EDM can measure this distance more accurately?


Question 15:

Two EDM instruments have the following accuracies:

EDM1 3 mm + 5 ppm
EDM2 4 mm + 3 ppm
Find the distance which if it is measured with any of the two instruments the same accuracy will be resulted.
Question 16:
State the four methods for positioning.
Question 17:
Explain in details using neat skitches the steps of surveying building no.2 of the modern academy.
Question 18:
State and discuss the sources and types of errors in surveying.
