1. The following are independent measurements of a distance: 231.618, 231.

681,
231.618, 231,816, 231.816, 231.681, 231.618, 231.861, 231.861, 231.816, 231.681
and 231.816. Determine the most probable value of the distance and the
relative precision of the mean of measurements. (10 points)
2. A distance measured with a 60m steel tape is recorded as 700.01 m. The tape is
known to be 0.015m too short. What is the correct length of the line? (5 points)
3. The interior angles of a quadrilateral were observed to be: A = 100 35’ 40”, B
= 118 44’ 15”, C = 80 54’ 35 “, and D = 59 45’ 50 “. Determine the most
probable value of each angle. (10 points)
4. You are measuring to points A and B in a horizontal ground by pacing. The
number of paces from A to B after three trials is, 101, 100, and 103. What is the
distance between A if your pace factor is 0.667 m/pace? (5 points)
5. It is required to lay out a building 250 m by 205 m with a 30 m long steel tape
which was found to be 3 cm to long. Determine the correct dimensions to be
used in order that the building shall have the desired measurements. (10
points)
6. A surveyor has a unit pace of 0.004 m/pace. (a) He counts 43 paces while
walking from point A to point B. What is the distance between A and B? (b) How
many paces should the same surveyor count to lay out a line approximately 300
meters long? (10 points)
7. You must lay out two points that are exactly 100.000 m apart. Field conditions
indicate that standard conditions apply except the measured temperature is
27°C. Determine the distance to be laid out. (5 points)
8. A steel tape having a correct length at 22°C was used to measure a baseline
and the recorded readings gave the total of 856.865m. if the average
temperature during measurement was 18°C, determine the correct length of
the line. (5 points)
9. A traverse line was measured in three sections: 295.85 m at a slope 8°45’, 149.58
m at slope 4°29’ and 373.43 m at a slope 4°25’. Determine the corresponding
horizontal length of the line. (5 points)
10. A line measured with a 50-m long steel tape was determined to be 645.22 m
when the average temperature during taping was 15.75°C. If the tape is of
standard length at 20°C and the coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is
0.0000116/°C, determine the correct length of the line. (5 points)
