Q2[4 Marks]Distance Measurements
A 1.5 km long road is indicated in a map by a length of 37.5 cm. Find the scale of the plot and indicate through a sketch how a suitable scale can be constructed to read upto 1 m in the map.
Q3[3 Marks]Distance Measurements
What are the methods of horizontal distance measurement in sloping ground? What type of significant figures are you used in the distance measurement?
A car is travelling at a speed of . A long line represents the distance travelled by the car in two hours; construct a scale upto . The scale should be able to read the distance travelled in one minute. Show the distance and the distance in and on map.
Q4[6 Marks]Distance Measurements
A 20m steel tape was standardized in catenary conditions under a pull of 10 kg and found to be 20.006m. This tape was used to measure a distance of 86m in catenary conditions at a pull of 10 kg. Supports were provided at every 10m. The weight of the tape was 30gm/m. Apply necessary tape corrections for the measured length of line.

Q11[6 Marks]Plotting and Mapping
Find the volume of filling in a length of 50m with the following data for a two level section, using the trapezoidal and prismoidal formula, where formation width = 10m, side slope 2:1, transverse slope = 8:1. The ground level at 25m interval are given below.
| Chainages (m) | 0 | 25 | 50 |
|---|---|---|---|
| RL of GL | 1080.50 | 1079.80 | 1078.40 |
The formation has a downward slope of 1 in 50 with the formation level at 0 chainage being 1081.50m.
