CE307 Geomatics Exam Questions

This two-page document contains information about a Geomatics exam for a B.Tech degree. It includes three exam parts (A, B, C) with multiple choice and written response questions. Part A questions cover topics like traverse surveying methods, curve setting out, and balancing a closed traverse. Part B questions discuss GPS components and principles, static vs rapid static GPS surveying, and visibility diagrams. Part C asks about multispectral scanning, remote sensing principles, geographic vs projected coordinate systems, map projections, and spectral reflectance characteristics. The document provides relevant exam questions, formulas, and diagrams to assess student knowledge of surveying, GPS, remote sensing, and cartography topics.

of the tangent points and point of compound curvature, given that the latter point
is 126m from the point of intersection at an external angle of 290° from the first
tangent.
