Closing error and adjustments
1) The length and angles obtained in a closed traverse survey is given in table below. Find consecutive
coordinates; adjust themusing (a) Bowditch rule, (b) Transit rule, and find independent co-ordinates.
The bearing of AB was found to be 303000
Station Angles Line Length (m)
A 7331 AB 66.6
B 10742 BC 135.7
C 1878 CD 66.3
D 7730 DE 76.6
E 9407 EA 214.3

2) A link traverse was run between stations A and X. The co-ordinates of the controlling stations at the
ends of the traverse are as:
Stn E (m) N (m) Clockwise angle Line Distance (m)
A 1769.15 2094.72 1153700
B 1057.28 2492.39
X 2334.71 1747.32 1733100 4X 224.79
Y 2995.85 1616.18
1 1681910 A1 208.26
2 2811240 12 193.47
3 2425340 23 326.71
4 802620 34 309.15
Calculate the co-ordinates of stations 1,2,3 and 4, adjusting any misclosure by transit method.

6) Due to some problems with equipment, the bearings of two sides were not taken for a closed traverse
ABCDEA. Fromthe available data, compute the bearings of the two sides.

7) A traverse ABCDEA was conducted and due to difficulties in the field, the bearing of line EA and
length of line DE could not be measured. Fromthe remaining data of the traverse, find the missing
quantities.

Other Problems
12) The following observations were taken fromstations P and Q. Calculate the length and bearing of AB,
and also the angles PAB and QBA.
