Q

Vernal equinox?

A

Vernal equinox, two moments in the year when the Sun is exactly above the Equator and day and night are of equal length; also, either of the two points in the sky where the ecliptic (the Sun’s annual pathway) and the celestial equator intersect.

Q

swinging of telescope

transiting of telescope

A

revolving in horizontal plane

revolving in vertical plane 180 degree

17
Q

temporary adjustments of theodolite

A 
setting 
centering
leveling
focusing of eye piece
focusing the objective
18
Q

radiation method

A

it is suitable when area to the surveyed is small and all the required station are clearly visible and accessible from instrument station

19
Q

resection method

A

it is employed when plane table occupies a position not yet plotted on the drawing sheet. it is commonly used for establishing instrument station
two point and three point problem

20
Q

intersection method

A

it is used when the base station are visible and accessible but the other stations are only visible not accessible. it is most suitable for hilly area and also known as graphical triangulation

21
Q

traversing method

A

generally used when a narrow strip of terrain is to be surveyed. ex-survey of road, railway etc. used for both open and close traverse

22
Q

plane table surveying types

A

23
Q

clinometer
pantagraph
tellurometer
ghat tracer

A

clinometer =angle measuring instrument
pantagraph = plan enlarging instrument
tellurometer = microwave measurement, EDM
ghat tracer = gradient finding instrument

24
Q

farthometer

A

instrument used for measuring depth in ocean

25
Q

geodimeter

A

geodimeter is a medium range < 25km, electronic distance measuring equipment. it has a range of 5km in day, 25km in night using mercury lamp

26
Q 
five types of vernier
direct vernier- 
retrograde vernier-
double vernier-
double folded vernier
extended vernier
A

direct vernier-
divisions slightly shorter then main
retrograde vernier-
divisions slightly longer then main
double vernier-
it is used when graduations on the main scale are numbered in both directions. the double vernier extends in both directions with index mark in the center, it is combination of two direct verniers
double folded vernier-
it is a special type of double vernier whose total length is 1/2 of combined length of corresponding double vernier. it is used when required to keep the length of vernier short
extended vernier-
divisions of the vernier scale are equal in length (2n-1) divisions of main scale. An abney level has an extended type of vernier with a least count of 5’ or 10’

27
Q

error types introduced in Theodolite survey

A

INSTRUMENTAL errors

  • imperfect adjustment of plate levels
  • line of collimation not being perpendicular to horizontal axis
  • horizontal axis not being perpendicular to vertical axis
  • eccentricity of inner and outer
  • eccentricity of verniers
  • imperfect graduations on horizontal scale
  • vertical index error
  • vertical cross hair not perpendicular to horizontal
  • defective tripod

PERSONAL ERRORS

  • errors in manipulation = inaccurate centering, inaccurate leveling, slip in screws and improper use of tangent screws
  • errors in sighting and reading

ERRORS DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES
temprature, wind , refraction effect, settlement of tripod

28
Q

Transit Theodolite:

A

Transit Theodolite:
A theodolite is said to be a transit one when its telescope can be revolved through 180° in a vertical plane about its horizontal axis, thus directing the telescope in exactly opposite direction.
The vertical circle is rigidly fixed to the telescope and rotates with the telescope.

29
Q

find internal angles and foreberings again from internal angles

A

if: we are going clockwise sequence
< B = < BA - < BC (BB-FB)
else if : anti-clockwise
< B = < BC - < BA (FB-BB)

converting back from internal angles
if:  we are going clockwise sequence
< BC = < AB+ (180 - < B)
else if : anti-clockwise
< BC = < AB - (180 - < B)
