The graphic below shows thumb Two arrows with the arrows on the inside pointing up.
movements on the thumbscrew
adjustments for most all of our surveying
gear - particularly, the theodolite. Of the
three options, which is correct?
One guiding principle for measuring it takes two points to form a line
distance is __ _.
A student's pace is 3' and their stride is 6'. If 558'
that student takes 93 strides on level
ground, the (relatively close) horizontal
distance covered would be ____ _.
In the civil environment, 6" is not 6" any 0.5'
more. Instead, 6" is _ _.
if you are using a 100' add tape where the 65.21
rear taper holds 65', and the head taper
holds 0.21', the actual horizontal distance
would be ___ _.'

A method of measuring distance is ____ _. using stadia

all of the above
Do the properties of a metal tape change Yes
as the ambient air temperature rises above
75 degrees?
One method of measuring a distance all of the above
between two points is _____ _.
One advantage of working with a fiberglass True
tape measure is that it is non conductive.
A 4% slope in "civil speak" is _____ per ___ _. 4' of elevation change 100' of horizontal run
When the text author discusses tensioning True
the chain when measuring a horizontal
distance; the guideline (when in doubt) is to
pull hard.
The difference between taping and False
chaining is that taping measures distance,
while chaining is more accurate measuring
horizontal angles
Your are in North Dakota, and are 2005
contracted to construct an uphill grade for
a road that is painfully flat. Your scope of
work is to take the horizontal distance
(which is 2000 yards), and create a 7%
incline. What is the slope distance, in yards,
of the road you will be constructing?
Please round to the nearest full yard.
Please convert 5670 yards to feet. 17,010
The company you own (or work for) has 1,205
been asked to create a hill on a very flat
driveway. Currently, it's a grass driveway,
but the owner intends to pave it after you
do your thing. the very flat driveway is 1,200
feet long and you are planning to create an
incline at 9%. What would the slope
distance (hypotenuse) be after you do your
thing? Your answer should be rounded up
to the nearest foot.
