ACTIVITY 3 – LEVELLING
Answer the ff. problems
Prob. 1
Data shown is obtained from a double rodded line of levels of a certain cross-section of the
proposed Manila-Bataan Road.
   a.) Find the diff. in elevation between TP1 and TP3.
   b.) Find the elevation of BM2.
   c.) What is the difference in elevation between BM1 and TP2.
Prob. 2:
In levelling across a wide river on Pampanga, a reciprocal level reading were taken between
points B and C as shown in the tabulation.
   a.) Compute the difference in elevation between B and C with instrument set up near B.
   b.) Compute the true difference in elevation between B and C.
   c.) If the elevation of B is 346.50 m, compute the elevation of C.
Prob. 3
In the two-peg test of a dumpy level using alternate method, the full observation was taken.
                                Instrument set up near M         Instrument set up near P
 Rod Reading on point A         0.296 m                          1.563 m
 Rod Reading on point B         0.910 m                          2.140 m
Point M is equidistant from both A and B, while P is 2.50 m. away from A along the extension of
line AB and 79.27 m from B.
   a.) Determine the true difference in elevation between A and B.
   b.) Determine the error in the rod reading at B with the instrument still at P.
   c.) Determine the correct reading on rod B for a horizontal line of sight with the instrument
       still at P.
