    Fieldwork Activity # 5
    MEASURING DISTANCE BY BREAKING THE TAPE

    A. Procedure:

    1. From the given distance, determine the straightness of the line where measurement is
    to be run.
    2. The head tape man carries the o meter mark of the tape in such a way that length of the
    tape is in his convenient position, either on waist or on his chest.
    3. The rear tape man holds the tape on the mark point on the ground, while the head tape
    man plumbs the end of the tape and mark the projection on the ground. Measurement
    is done while the recorder sights the horizontal levelness of the tape. First distance is
    recorded.
    4. The head tape man drags the tape to the next prospect point, while the rear tape man
    transfers to the mark established by the head tape man. Repeat procedures 2 and 3. Total
    Distance (£r) = D1+ D2+ D3.
    5. Repeat procedures 2, 3 and 4 until the last mark below is reached. Add the measured
    length; the result is the horizontal distance by breaking the tape.

    B. Computation:
    Total Distance = d1 + d2 + d3 + d4 + d5 + d6 + d7
    TD = 2m + 2m + 2m + 2m + 2m + 2m + 2.6m
    TD = 14.6 meters

    C. Problems Encountered:
    • The problems that I encountered was about the analyzation on
    the activity, it is difficult to measure an area, especially when it
    on the slope; thus, the measurement must be divided in order to
    avoid more errors, and making it easier.

    D. Solutions Made:
    • In order to solve the problems, we divided the measurement by
    parts. We put a marker at each end of our measured distance so
    that we can easily know how many or how long the distance we
    gathered. And also, by the help of our instructor we figured out
    how to measure in this activity.
    E. Learnings:
    • I learned that the purpose of the activity was that it is used when
    measuring or taping on sloping uneven terrain surfaces, when
    full tape length or fractional cannot be done directly on the
    ground surface. And breaking the tape is much more applicable
    to use in this kind of situation. In other words, if we will measure
    long measurement on even grounds, it is advisable to use this
    method to avoid the sagging of the meter tape. However, we
    must be careful in reading and transferring the tape.

    F. Illustration:
    The dot ( ) is a sign for meter mark at each distance from d1 up to d7.
