    Measuring A Distance Which Is More Than The Used Tape Length

    Uploaded by

    Sameer Samara
    This document describes a methodology for measuring distances longer than a standard tape measure. It involves: 1) Placing ranging rods at the start and end points and every 30m along the line. 2) Using a tape measure between rods until it reaches the end, then placing a third rod. 3) Repeating this process by measuring from the other direction. 4) Calculating the average of the two distances to determine the full length. The group practiced this method and measured a distance of 41.155m, but their tape broke due to improper handling.

    Measuring a distance which is more than the used


    tape length
    Tools:
    1- Ranging rod : (also called A range pole) is a wood or metal
    pole, usually about 2-5 m long and about 3-5 cm in diameter; it is
    provided with a steel point or shoe and painted in alternate bands of
    red and white to increase its visibility. Figure (1) shown a variety of
    range poles
    Figure (1):Ranging rod

    2- Arrows: (also called a chaining pin) is a metal pin about 0.5 m


    long. It has a circular eye at one end and a point for pushing it
    into the ground at the other These carried on a wire ring passed
    through the eyes in the pins or in a sheath called a quiver. Chaining
    pins can be used for the temporary marking of points in a great variety
    of situations
    Figure (2): Arrows
    Note: In our exercise we use nails as shown in figure (2)

    3- Tap: The tapes are manufactured of glass glass fiber having PVC
    coating. They are graduated every 10 mm and figured every 100 mm.
    Meter, figures are shown in red. They are convenient for measuring
    shorts lengths. Figure (3) shown tape

    Figure (3): Tap


    Note: we use (field note book) small notebook that is used to record the various
    measurements and to write notes

    Methodology:
    1- Preparing the needed instruments
    2- Student ( A) catch the first rod and stand up at the first point of distance and
    student ( B) catch another at the end point, student (A) and student (B) must appear
    at straight line
    3- Put a nail at the beginning point and another at the end poit

    4- Student (c) catch the tape and put it at the begin point in front of the nail, then he
    walked until the tape finish ,the tape must be well tight
    5- When the tape finish , student ( D) catch a third rod at the end tape (30m)
    6- Student (B) guide student (D) to move aside movement until the three rods
    appear on a straight line, then student (D) put the third nail at certain point called it
    point (c) . Figure (4) shown procedure (6)

    Figure (4): the three rods appear on a straight line

    7- Student (C) catch the tape and put it at point (c), then he walked until reach the
    end point the tape must be well tight ,student (c ) must record the measurement in
    a field note book
    8- Repeat the procedures( 4, 5, 6 , 7) again but at the other side from end point to
    start point
    9- Then record the measurement at procedure (8)

    Calculations:Distance A-B= 30 +11.15

    Distance A-B=41.15 m

    Distance B-A= 30 +11.16

    Distance B-A=41.16 m

    Average: (Distance A-B+ Distance B-A)/2


    (41.15+4.16)/2=41.155m

    Results:
    The distance between A and B is 41.155

    comment:
    This training was good but the tape cut in our group because we dont deal with it well
    and the tap was weak
