1. A distance was measured on an 8% slope and found to be 2620.30 m. What is the horizontal distance
measured in m?
2. If two points A and B 125-m apart, have difference in elevation of 0.5 m, the slope of correction to the
measured length is.
3. A 100m tape weighing 5.08 kg was used to measure a line. It was supported at the end points, midpoints,
and quarter points and the tension applied is 60 Newtons. If the total measured distance is 2345.76m,
what is the correct distance of the line?
4. In every measurement, a 100-meter tape is suspended at the ends under a pull of 15 kg. It is also
supported at 30 m and 75 m marks. If the tape id used to measure a 534.25 long line, determine the total
correction due to sag? The tape weighs 5 kg.
5. It is required to lay out a distance of 687.78m with a 50m tape that is 0.030 m too long. Compute the
distance measured with the tape to make the points the proper distance apart.
6. Compute the sea level distance of a line which measures 324.45 m if it was measured in Mount Apo
(elevation 2,954 m)
7. A line is laid out using a 5p-m tape. The standard error of each tape length laid out is assumed to be
±0.03. If a total length of 2400 m is laid out, what is the standard error of the length of the line.
8. Determine the correct length of a line, 256.32 m long, measured using a 50 m steel tape at 38 °C. The
steel tape was calibrated at 20 °C.
9. A 50-m steel tape was used to measure a line and the initial pull = 5.5 kg. Pull at time of measurement =
8.0 kg. Weight of tape = 0.05 kg/m. E = 2.1 x 10 kg/cm. Cross section = 0.04 sq.cm. Measured distance
between two points = 488.650 m, in an inclined surface having a gradient of 3%. Find the correct
horizontal distance between the two points.
10. The distance from A to B taken at elevation 1200 m above sea level is 6,750 m. Determine the sea-level
distance.
11. A rectangular lot was being measured using a 30-m metallic tape which was 6 mm too long, The
recorded dimension where 70.50 m long by 37.10 m wide. What is the error in area (m) introduced due
to the erroneous length of tape?
12. It is required to lay out an exact distance of 100 m using 50 m tape that is 0.02 m too long. Compute the
distance measured with the tape to make the points the proper distance apart.
13. A distance measured with a 50m steel tape is recorded as 696.41m. The tape is known to be 0.015m too
long. What is the correct length of the line in meters?
14. A 50-m steel tape was standardized and supported throughout its whole length and found to be 0.00205
m longer at an observed temperature of 31.8 "C and a pull of 10 kilos. This tape was used to measure a
line which was found to be 662.702 m at an average temperature of 24.6 °C using the same pull. Use
coefficient of expansion of a = 0.0000116 m/m°C. Compute the correct length.
