If the 20m chain was 0.05m too short, what was the error in the 30m chain? (Ans: +0.04m) Q5. An Engineers chain was found to be 7.5cm too long after chaining 120m. It was found to be 15cm too long at the end of the days work, after chaining a total distance of 210m. If the chain was correct before the commencement of chaining, find the true distance. (Ans: 210.49m) Q6. The plan of an old survey plotted to a scale of 10m to 1cm was found to have shrunk so that a line originally 10cm long was found to measure 9.8cm. There was also a note on the plan that the 30m chain used in the survey was 0.03m too short. If the area of the plan measured now with a planimeter is 96.04 cm2, determine the true area of the survey. (Ans: 9980 m2) Assignment No.3 Q1. Explain the types of errors in chaining. Q2. A line was measured on a rising gradient of 1 to 10 and found to be 313.5m. It was afterwards found that the 30m chain was 5cm too long. Find the correct length of the line. (312.46m) Q3. A steel tape was exactly 30m long at 18c when supported throughout its length under a pull of 80n. A line was measured with a tape under a pull of 120n and found to be 801m. The mean temperature during the measurement was 26c. Assuming the tape to be supported at every 30m, compute the true length of the line, given that the cross-sectional area of the tape=0.04 cm2, the mass density of steel is 0.0077 kg/cm3, the coefficient of expansion= 0.0000117 per c and the modulus of elasticity=21x106 n/cm2.
