241. If the gradient of a ground is -3%, that of another ground intersecting with the
former is 5%, and the horizontal length of the vertical curve to be drawn is 600 m,

2. Intermediate obstructions in the measurement on base-lines can be
cleared by erecting towers
243.Apparent displacement of signal i azimuth-Due to dislevelment of trunnion axis Error due to phase of the signal Sun illuminating only a portion of the signal Error due to eccentric signal-Location of signal displaced from the actual site due to difficulties in erection Error due to refraction-Light rays travelling from a rarer to a denser medium
244. A star is observed at its upper culmination when it is north of zenith. The latitude of the place of observation is 30°N and declination of the star is 50°N. The zenith distance of the star is 20°
245. The local sidereal time (LST) is always behind LMT by about 2 hours per
month
246. Consider the following statements regarding the longitude of a place : wireless time signals,transportation of chronometers
247. In an aerial photo, the image of the top of a tower is found to be 10 cm from the center of the photograph. If the height of the tower is 100 m and the flying height of the aircraft is 1000 m above the average terrain height, then the height
displacement of the image from the true position will be 10 mm
248.Reciprocal levelling-Eliminates error due to inclined line of collimation also Balancing Fore Sight and BackSight Distances-Eliminates the collimation error Inverted -Staff Reading-Points above the line of collimation Tilting level-The vertical axis is not perpendicular to the line of collimation
