P 0.865 37° 24' 0” RL of BM = 100 mtr.

R 0.865 31° 26' 15” Distance betn P & R = 12 mtr

Where, P, R & top of chimney are in same vertical plane.

Find the elevation of top of chimney.

(different level instruments)

1) Find the RL of top of chimney from the following data,

Instrument Reading on Vertical R.L. of BM

Station BM Angle
P 1.375 m 10° 12' 548.075 m
R 1.285 m 8° 20'  

Where, P & R in the line of chimney and the distance between

P & R is 50 m.
2) In order to ascertain the elevation of the top (Q) of
the signal on a hill, observation were made from two
instruments stations P & R at a horizontal distance 100
meters apart, the stations P & R being in line with Q.
The angle of elevation of Q at P and R were 28° 42' and
18° 6' respectively. The staff readings upon the bench
mark of elevation 287.28 were respectively 2.870 and
3.750 when the instruments was at P and at R, the
telescope being horizontal. Determine the elevation of
the foot of the signal if the height of the signal above its
base is 3 metres.

(very different level instruments)
1) The top (Q) of a chimney was sighted from two stations P
and R at very different levels, the stations P and R being in line
with the top of the chimney. The angle of elevations from P to
the top of chimney was 38° 21' and that from R to the top of
chimney was 21° 18'. The angle of elevation from R to a vane 2
m above the foot of the staff held at P was 15° 11'. The height
of instruments at P and R were 1.87 m and 1.64 m respectively,
The horizontal distance between P and R was 127 m and the
reduced level of R was 112.78 m. find the RL of the top of the
chimney and the horizontal distance from P to the chimney.
