A Bench Mark ...

Question

A Bench Mark (BM) with Reduced Level (RL) = 155.305 m has been established at the floor of a room. It is required to find out the RL of the underside of the roof (R) of the room using Spirit Levelling. The Back Sight (BS) to the BM has been observed as 1.500m whereas the Fore Sight (FS) to R has been observed as 0.575 m (Staff held inverted). The RL(m) of R will be

Solution

The correct option is B 157.380
In case of inverted staff,

RL of R = Height of instrument + FS

= (RL of benchmark+BS) + FS

$= 155.305 + 1.5 + 0.575$

$= 157.38 m$

Q. A bench mark has been established at the soffit of an ornamental arch at the known elevation of 100.0 m above mean sea level. The back sight used to establish height of instrument is an inverted staff reading of 2.105 m. A forward sight reading with normally held staff of 1.105 m is taken on a recently constructed plinth. The elevation of the plinth is

Q. A levelling is a carried out to establish the Reduced Level (RL) of a point C with respect to Bench Mark (BM) at A. The staff reading taken are given below.
