With a transit at point B line of sight horizontal, the stadia intercept at C is 1.15m. If the
stadia interval factor is 100.32 and the stadia constant is 0.3, find the distance BC?
a.108.32 b. 112.54 c. 115.68 d. 123.65
INTRODUCTION TO STADIA SURVEYING
In stadia surveying, a transit having horizontal stadia crosshairs above and below the central horizontal crosshair is
used. The difference id rod readings at the stadia crosshairs is termed the rod intercept. The intercept may be
converted to the horizontal and vertical distances between the instrument and the rod by the following formulas:
H = Ki(cosα)2 + (f + c)cosα V = ( )Ki(sin2α + (f + c)sinα
H = Horizontal distance between center of transit and rod
V = Vertical distance between center of transit and point on the rod intersected by the middle horizontal crosshair
k = Stadia factor (usually 100) I = Rod intercept α =vertical inclination of the line of sight, measured from the
horizontal, degree f + c = Instrument constant, (usually taken as 1 ft or 0.3048m)
D = R( + c) Stadia formula
R = Intercept on rod between two sighting wires
f = Focal length of telescope, c = distance from the center of the

spindle to center ofobjective lens. C = f + c
I = Distance between stadia wires Stadia constant
Solution from the problem given C = 1.15m Stadia interval factor is R= 100.32
and stadia constant is .3
D = = R( + c) = 100.32(1.15) + 0.30 = 115.668 Answer
From the choices of answers Select C = 115.68

When at rest, the surface of mass of liquid is horizontal.When the mass of liquid is rotated about a
vertical axis at constant angular speed ⍵ radians per second, it will assume the surface which is
parabolic. Every particle is subjected to centripetal force of CF = (⍵)2(x)2 which produces
centripetal acceleration towards the center of rotation. If we cut a section at the center of the
paraboloid the section is a conic in the shape of a parabola opening upward symmetric to the Y axis
the equation from Analytic Geometry is (X – h)2 = a(Y – k) equation 1 But the vertex of the
parabola is at center is h=0 & k = 0 therefore the general equation of the parabolic curve for
rotation of cylindrical vessel = X2 = A(Y) eq 2 where A is the coefficient of Y. Onother relationship is
(r)2/h = x2/y or solving for X2 = r2( ) Equation 3 , here A = r2( ) from eq2 From mechanics part 2
“Dynamics” & Hydrodynamics y = ⍵2(r2)/2g eq3 or ⍵2 = y(2g)/r2 eq 4
Multiply the radians per second value by 60 to get radians per minute. Then divide that figure
by 2*pi (there are 2*pi radians in the circumference of a circle). so rpn = (60
radians)/2π(radians) = 30/π = 9.5495(radians/sec) = 1 revolution per minute. With g= 9.81
substitute values into 4. (⍵)2 =[2(9.81) (y)]/r2 = y(19.62)/r2 or ⍵ = /r = [4.429 ] /r
equation 5 to convert it to R.P.N Multiply eq 5 by 9.5495 We get the general formula for
rotating vessels ⍵ =( )( ) in R.P.M Units of measurements
y = Meters, r = Meters, h = Meters

YOUR SHOE SIZE CAN TELL YOUR AGE? Are you ready to take the challenge?
Step 1 Take your SHOE SIZE. This must be a whole number, no fractions.
For example, if your shoe size is 8 1/2, round it off to 9.
Step 2 Multiply Step1 by 5.
Step 3 Add 50 to Step 2.
Step 4 Multiply Step 3 by 20
Step 5 Add the current year i.e (2017) to Step 4
Step 6 Subtract 1000 from Step 5
Step 7 Subtract the date you were born from Step 6
Step 8 The first digit of Step 7 is your shoe size and the last two digits is your age.
Example Size of shoes = 8 Date of birth = 1966 Current Year = 2017
Following the procedure
Step 1 Shoe size is 8
Step 2 (8)(5) = 40
Step 3 50 + 40 = 90
Step 4 (90)(20) = 1800
Step 5 1800 + 2017 = 3817
Step 6 3817 – 1000 = 2817
Step 7 2817 – 1966 = 851

Step 8 From the answer the the first digit is 8 = Shoe size and the last two digits = 51 your age
As a checked: Age = Current year – Year of Birth = 2017 – 1966 = 51
