  9.  

    If F is the pull applied at the ends of tape in kg, l is the length of tape between end marks in metres, w is the weight of the tape in kg per metre run, then sag correction


  10. Under ordinary conditions, the precision of a theodolite traverse is affected by

  11. A.

    systematic angular errors

    B.
    accidental linear errors
    C.

    systematic linear errors

    D.

    accidental angular errors.


  12. Pick up the incorrect statement from the following :

  13. A.

    while measuring a distance with a tape of length 100.005 m, the distance to be increasing by 0.005 m for each tape length

    B.

    an increase in temperature causes a tape to increase in length and the measured distance is too large

    C.

    the straight distance between end points of a suspended tape is reduced by an amount called the sag correction

    D.

    a 100 m tape of cross section 10 mm x 0.25 mm stretches about 10 mm under 5 kg pull.
