PROBLEM 2: A traverse line AB is being measured by theodolite and subtense bar. At station A, the horizontal axis of the theodolite is 1.48m above the ground mark and the horizontal angle subtended by a 2-meter subtense bar set up at station B is 42'18". The subtense bar is 1.22 m above the ground mark and the vertical angle measured to it on the theodplite is +13°56'. Determine the length of the line AB and the difference in elevation between the two ground station marks.

A traverse line AB is being measured by a theodolite and substense bar. At station A, the horizontal axis of the theodolite is 2.87m above the ground mark and the horizontal angle subtended by a 2-meter substense bar set up at a station B is 3°. The substense bar is 1.35m above the ground mark and the vertical angle measured to it on the theodolite is 21°. Determine the difference in elevation between the two ground station marks.
The following subtended angles were read on a 2m long subtense bar using a theodolite:0°54' 13" , O°22'2O ", O°32'06", and 0°19' 46“. Compute the horizontal distance from the theodolite to each position of the bar. Show your solutions here.

A 40m steel tape is suspended in the air between a theodolite and vertical rod, which is placed exactly at the 40m mark, under a pull of 12.5kg. The slope of the measured line is 2-degree 40minutes. The tape weighs 1kg, standard pull of 8.5kg, cross-sectional area of 0.039cm^2 and E= 2x106 kg/cm^2. Determine the correction for sag of the tape in meter. Determine the horizontal distance between the theodolite and rod in meters. (Apply 5-decimal places - for letter B only) What additional pull must be applied to eliminate the effect of sag?
