PLATE #1: DEADLINE: SEPTEMBER 25, 2019
1. PACING. In walking along a 75-m course, the pacer of a field party counted 43.50, 44.00,
43.50, 43.75, 44.50 and 43.25 strides. Then 105.50, 106.00, 105.75, and 106.25 strides were
counted in walking from one marker to another established along a straight and level
course. Determine the distance between the two markers.
2. 2. PACING. A student paces a 50-m length five times with the following results: 57.00,
56.75, 56.50, 58.00, and 56.25 paces. Determine how many paces must he step off in order
to establish a distance of 450 meters on level ground.
3. PACING. Determine the length of a line negotiated in 208 paces a person whose pace of
0.76 meters long.
4. DISTANCE BY SUTENSE BAR. With the use of a 1-sec theodolite positioned at the center of a
six-sided lot, the following reading were taken on a 2-m subtense bar set up on each
corner: 0°26’16”, 0°12’35”, 0°15’05”, 0°22’29”, 0°30’45”, and 0°09’50”. Determine the
distance of each corner from the instrument position.
5. DISTANCE BY SUBTENSE BAR. A 2-m long subtense bar was first set up at A and
subsequently at B, and the subtended angles to the bar, as read from the theodolite
positioned somewhere along the middle of line AB, were recorded as 0°24’15” and
0°20”30”, respectively. Determine the length of line AB.
6. . SLOPE MEASUREMENT. A traverse line was measure in three directions: 295.85 m at slope
8°45’, 146.58 m at slope 4°29’and 373.48 m at slope 4°25’. Determine the horizontal length
of the line.
7. SLOPE MEASUREMENT. A slope measurement of 545.38 m is made between point A and B.
The elevation of A is 424.25 m and that of B is 459.06 m. Determine the horizontal distance
between the two points.
8. MEASUREMENTS WITH TAPE. The sides of a rectangular parcel of property were measured
and recorded as 249.50 m and 496.85 m. It was determined, however, that the 30-m tapes
used in measuring was actually 30.05 m long. Determine the correct area of the rectangle in
hectares.
9. MEASUREMENTS WUTH TAPE. A 30-m steel tape when compared with a standard is
actually 29.92 m long. Determine the correct length of a line measured with this tape ad
found to be 466.55 m.
10. LAYING OUT DISTANCES. A track and field coach wishes to lay out for his tram a 200-m
straightaway course. If he uses a 50-m tape known to be 50.20 m long, determine the
measurements to be made so that the course will have the correct length.
11. LAYING OUT DUSTANCES. It is required to lay out a building 80 m by 100 m with a 30-m
long metallic tape which was found to be 0.15 m too short. Determine the correct
dimensions to be used in order that the building shall have the desired measurements.
12. LAYING OUT DISTANCES. A steel tape whose nominal length is supposed to be a 30 m long
was found to be 30.02m long when compared with an invar tape during standardization. If
the tape is used in laying out a 520m by 850m rectangular parking lot, determine the actual
dimensions to be laid out
13. CORRECTION DUE TO TEMPERATURE. A 30-m steel tape is of standard length at 20°C. If the
coefficient of thermal expansion of steel is 0.0000116/1°C, determine the distance to be
laid out using this tape to establish two points exactly 12235.65 m apart 2hen the
temperature is 33°C.
