A set of chaining survey data is presented in Table 1 below. Calculate the average distances of each line segment, corresponding discrepancy ratios, and the total distance of the entire route.
(For distances, report to the nearest 100th place, and for the discrepancy ratio, use only the whole number at the denominator. Failure following the reporting requirements will result in 5 points deduction.)
\table[[Line segments,FW Dist. (ft),BW Dist. (ft),Mean Dist. (ft),Discrepancy Ratio],[1-2,85.03,85.05,85.04,.02],[2-3,110.65,110.62,110.64,-.03],[3-4,102.44,102.47,102.46,.03],[4-5,98.70,98.71,98.71,.01],[5-6,107.47,107.5,107.49,.03],[Sum,504.29,504.35,504.34,.06]]
Suppose that the chaining survey in problem 1 was conducted on a hot day when the temperature of the chain was recorded as 100F using a 200-footlong chain that is known to have a built-in error of +0.02 per chain. Compute the length and temperature corrections for the chaining survey and report the corrected horizontal distance.
