FUNDASURV 215: Module 2 Flashcards
It is generally regarded as the most fundamental of all surveying observations.
DISTANCE MEASUREMENT
In this survey, even though many angles may be read, the length of at least one line must be MEASURED TO SUPPLEMENT THE ANGLES in locating points.
Traditional Ground Surveys
In this survey, the distance between TWO POINTS MEANS THE HORIZONTAL DISTANCE.
Plane Surveying
True or False
If the points are at SAME ELEVATIONS, the distance is the horizontal length between vertical lines at the points.
FALSE
If the points are at DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS, the distance is the horizontal length between vertical lines at the points.
Are SUFFICIENTLY ACCURATE for many purposes in surveying, engineering, geology, agriculture, forestry, and military field sketching.
Distance by Pacing
It is also used to DETECT BLUNDERS that may occur in making distance observations by more accurate methods.
PACING
It consists of COUNTING THE NUMBER OF STEPS or paces in require distance.
PACING
It is defined as the LENGTH OF SPACE IN WALKING.
PACE
It means being TWO PACES, some surveyors prefer to count these.
STRIDE
It is very useful in all APPROXIMATE DETERMINATION of distance in RECONNAISSANCE SURVEYS and similar works.
STRIDE
It is defined as THE RATION OF THE MEASURED DISTANCE in the number of paces made by an individual to cover a measured distance.
PACE FACTOR
True or False
The length of an individual’s pace DOES NOT vary when going uphill or downhill, and changes with ages.
FALSE
The length of an individual’s pace VARIES when going uphill or downhill, and changes with ages.
For LONG DISTANCES, this POCKET INSTRUMENT can be carried to register the number of paces.
PEDOMETER
It is ATTACHED TO THE BODY or leg and counts the steps.
PASSOMETER
It is one of the most valuable things learned in surveying, since it has practical applications for everybody and required no equipment.
