Rise and Fall vs Height of Collimation

This document contains two levelling exercises. The first asks to calculate reduced levels using rise and fall and height of collimation methods from a series of level readings starting and ending at the same benchmark. The second asks to calculate the collimation error and required readings from two sets of level readings taken between stations A and B located 100m apart.

1. The following is a series of levelling observations taken in sequence, starting and finishing
on the same bench mark. Complete the reduced levels of each set up using the method of (1)
Rise and Fall and (2) Height of Collimation; and apply all checks.

2. A level was set up midway between two stations A and B, 100m apart, and the following
readings were recorded:
On staff held at A: 1.497 On staff held at B: 3.215

The level was then set up 5m from staff A and the following readings were recorded.
On staff held at A: 1.225 On staff held at B: 3.100

a) Calculate the amount of collimation error; and


b) Calculate the required readings both at A and at B in the second set up.
