Question: Prob / em 5 : It is required to establish the elevation of point B from point A ( elevation 1 8 7 . 2

Prob/em 5: It is required to establish the elevation of point B from point A(elevation 187.298m). Points A and B are on opposite sides of a ten-lane highway. Reciprocal leveling is used, with the following results:
Set up at A side of highway: Rod reading on A=0.673m Rod readings on B=2.416 and 2.418m
Setup at B side of highway: Rod reading on B=2.992m Rod readings on A=1.254 and 1.250m
(a) What is the elevation of point B?
(b) What is the leveling error?
Problem 6: Compute the error due to curvature and refraction for the following
distances:
(a)400m
(b)3,000m
(c)2,000ft(d)2.7 miles (e)4 kilometers
Problem 7: An offshore drilling rig is being towed out to sea. What is the maximum distance away that the navigation lights can still be seen by an observer standing at the shoreline? The observer's eye height is 5'6'', and the uppermost navigation light is 280ft above the water.
