There are 6 (Six) Questions. Answer any 4 (Four)

Question 1. [Marks: 12.5]

a) Suppose, while conducting a chain survey, you come across a building while chaining a [4]
line. Describe any one method with sketches how you would overcome this obstacle.

b) A steel tape was exactly 30 m long at 20°C when supported throughout its length under a [8.5]
pull of 10 kg. A line was measured with this tape under a pull of 15 kg and at temperature
of 32°C and found to be (780 + ID) m long. The cross-sectional area of the tape = 0.03
cm2, and its total weight = 0.693 kg. Coefficient of thermal expansion of steel = 11×10-6
per °C and Modulus of Elasticity of steel = 2.1×106 kg/cm2. Compute the true length of the
tape.
Here, ID = Last three (03) digits of Student ID (Example: For 180201025, ID=025)

Question 2. [Marks: 12.5]

a) Define Pilot Survey. Why pilot survey is necessary for conducting research? [2.5]
b) The following are the observed bearings of the lines of a traverse ABCDEA in an area [10]
where local attraction is suspected. Draw the diagram and find the correct bearings of the
lines.
Here, ID = Last three (03) digits of Student ID (Example: For 180201025, ID=025)

EA (340 + 0.1 × ID)045′ (160 + 0.1 × ID)045′

Question 3. [Marks: 12.5]

a) Briefly explain the contents of research plan with necessary examples. [5]

b) A line was measured by a 20 m chain which was accurate before starting the day′s work. [7.5]
After chaining (900 + ID) m, the chain was found to be 6 cm too long. After chaining a
total distance of (1575 + ID) m, the chain was found to be 14 cm too long. Find the true
distance of the line.

Question 4. [Marks: 12.5]
a) Draw and compare the typical contour map of pond and hill. [4]
b) The following staff readings were successively taken using a dumpy level, [8.5]
0.355 m; 0.485 m; 0.625 m; 1.755 m; 1.895 m; 2.350 m; 1.780 m; 0.345 m; 0.685 m; 1.230
m and 2.150 m.

The instrument was shifted after the third, sixth and eighth readings. Prepare a level book
and calculate the RLs of all points by line of collimation method. Apply necessary check.
The RL of the first point is (255 + ID) m.
Here, ID = Last three (03) digits of Student ID (Example: For 180201025, ID=025)

Question 5. [Marks: 12.5]

a) Briefly describe the intersection method of plane tabling with figure. [5]
b) The bearings of the sides of a closed traverse ABCDA are as follows. Draw the diagram [7.5]
and calculate the interior angles of the closed traverse. Apply necessary check.

Line Fore Bearing

AB 60°00′

BC 149°52′
CD 269°30′

DA 20°10′

Question 6. [Marks: 12.5]

a) What are the steps involved in designing a Questionnaire? [3.5]

b) Define Reconnaissance Survey? How it could be conducted? [3.5]
c) An observer standing on the deck of a ship just sees the top of a lighthouse. The top of the [5.5]
light house is (40 + 0.1× ID) m above the sea level and the height of the observer′s eye is 7
m above the sea level. Find the distance of the observer from the lighthouse.
