Math Problem Statement

How to perform differential leveling using the given worksheet data?

Solution

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet for "Differential Leveling" from a surveying final exam. Let's go through the content step by step:

The table is used for differential leveling calculations, showing data for various stations (STA). The columns represent:

  • STA: Station names (BM-1, TP-1, TP-2, etc.).
  • + (Plus readings): Backsight readings (BS).
  • H.I.: Height of Instrument.
  • – (Minus readings): Foresight readings (FS).
  • ROD: Rod reading at each station.
  • ELEV: Elevation of the benchmark or station (in feet or meters, based on the context).

Process to Solve for Missing Elevations:

To calculate missing elevations at each station, you can follow these steps:

  1. Calculate H.I. (Height of Instrument):

    • H.I.=Elevation+BS(Backsight Reading)H.I. = Elevation + BS (\text{Backsight Reading})
    • For BM-1, we have the initial elevation 4621.884621.88 and BS 3.943.94: H.I.=4621.88+3.94=4625.82H.I. = 4621.88 + 3.94 = 4625.82
  2. Calculate Elevation for each subsequent station:

    • Elevation=H.I.FS(Foresight Reading)Elevation = H.I. - FS (\text{Foresight Reading})

Let's go through each step to fill in missing values.
