Question: Example 1 5 . 4 : The top ( Q ) of a chimney was sighted from two stations P and R at very different

Example 15.4: The top (Q) of a chimney was sighted from two stations P and R at very different levels, the stations P and R being in line with the top of the chimney. The angle of elevation from P to the top of the chimney was 3821' and that from R to the top of the chimney was 2118'. The angle of the elevation from R to a vane 2m above the foot of the staff held at P was 1511. The heights of instrument at P and R were 1.87m and 1.64m respectively. The horizontal distance between P and R was 127m and the reduced level of R was 112.78m. Find the R.L. of the top of the chimney and the horizontal distance from P to the chimney.
