Detailed Solution for APSC AE CE Paper 1 Mock Test - 1 - Question 8
Fix of a plane table from three known points

The accuracy with which a plane table station can be located through three-point problem is known as its fix. The fix is good when instrument station T is within the triangle, and particularly when it is at the orthocentre and the middle station is much nearer than the other. On the other hand, the fix is bad or poor when the instrument station T is near the circumference of the circumscribing circle. So, the accuracy of the fix depends on the relative positions of the plotted points and that of the location of the plane table station. Thus the choice of plotted objects and location of the table should be made to get a strong fix.

APSC AE CE Paper 1 Mock Test - 1 - Question 30

Which of the following statement is correct?

Detailed Solution for APSC AE CE Paper 1 Mock Test - 1 - Question 30
  • The error in measured length due to bad ranging is always positive as the measured value due to bad ranging is always greater than the actual value.
  • As the error in measured length due to the careless holding of the chain is an accidental error and accidental errors as obvious compensating in nature.
  • Correction for Pull (Cp):

Where,

P = Pull applied during measurement

Po = Standard Pull

L = length of the tape

E = Young’s modulus of elasticity

So, when P > Po, the corrective will be positive, and the error will therefore be negative.

  • If the chain used in measuring a distance is too short, the error will be positive, and correction will be negative and vice versa.
