Problem Set 8
Problem Set 8
8: OMITTED MEASUREMENTS
NOTE: Upon completion of the different lessons listed under this part of your course study, you will be required to
solve all the problems given in this set. The problems may be solved with books, notes, and other references
opened. You may consult your instructors, classmates, and others whom you feel could help you better
understand and solve the problems. You should, however, refrain from copying previously prepared solutions since
this will only defeat the purpose and objectives of this requirement. Although no time limit is specified to solve
each problem, all solutions and answers must, however, be submitted during the scheduled examination date for
the same group of lesson modules. All solutions must be done on short size bond paper and write on one side only.
1. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS. For each of the four traverses given in the accompanying tabulations, the length
and direction of one side are unknown. Compute the latitudes and departures of the given sides and determine
the length and bearing (or azimuth) of the omitted side.
3. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS. For each of the four traverses given in the accompanying tabulations, the length of
one side and the bearing (or azimuth) of an adjoining side are unknown. Determine these unknown quantities.
4. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS. In the accompanying tabulations are the observed data of four traverses in which
the lengths are unknown. Determine these unknown quantities.
5. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS. The traverse data indicated in Figures 3 and 4 are those of two closed traverses in
which the bearings of two adjoining sides are unknown. Determine these unknown quantities.
6. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS. The plots of two closed traverses are given in Figures 5 and 6 in which the length of
one side and the bearing of a non-adjoining side are unknown. Transform graphically each figure into one wherein
the sides with unknown quantities are made adjoining then, determine the unknown quantities in the usual
manner.
7. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS. In the accompanying tabulations are the observed data of two traverses in which
the lengths of two non-adjoining sides are unknown. Plot each traverse to scale and transform graphically each
figure into one wherein the sides with unknown quantities are made adjoining. Determine the unknown lengths in
each traverse.
8. OMITTED MEASUREMENTS. The plots of two closed traverses are given in Figures 7 and 8 in which the bearings
of two non-adjoining sides are unknown. Transform graphically each figure into one wherein the sides with
unknown quantities are made adjoining and determine the unknown quantities.
