Theory of Error & Taping
**** Note: Only questions 1&2 are about significant figures. No need to apply significant figures rules in other questions.**
**** Note: Please note that in taping questions, based on discussion during lectures you must determine a reasonable and rational nominal tape length, then solve those questions**
1- How many significant figures are there in the following numbers?
\table[[4324,0.036,51.721,0.0132],[300.00,,820031,350.1],[538400,,,3630.]]
2- Find the followings and apply significant figures rules.
a. Sum of 0.961,20.53,82.3,23.7245
b. Product of 324.98,28.7
3- A student counted 133,129,128,132,130, and 126 paces in six trials of walking along a typical course on level ground. Then 342,344,339, and 338 paces were counted in walking four repetitions of an unknown distance AB.
What is (a) the pace length and (b) the length of AB?
4- For the following data, compute the horizontal distance for a recorded slope distance AB.
a)AB=385.31ft, slope angle =911'30''
b)AB=210.75m, difference in elevation A to B=-5.454m.
5- A distance of 543.33ft. was measured with a 100.00ft. tape (actual and nominal tape lengths are the same) in temperature of 97F. What is the correct length?
6- The length of a line is measured as 488.4ft. and the actual tape length is found to be 99.95ft. What is the correct length of the line? Temperature is 68 degrees of Fahrenheit.
7- A tape with actual length of 100.06 is used for measurement of a line (A to B) in two segments. The full tape length covered segment 1 which was measured in 92F. Segment 2 was measured in 33F and found to be 75.4ft. What is the correct length between A to B?
8- A tape with 100.11ft actual length is used to measure a line on a slope in 81F. The slope distance measurement was found to be 843.5ft. The elevation difference is 7.4ft. What is the corrected horizontal length between the end points of that line?
