(3)
1.7. There are two principal classifications of surveying, name ANY ONE and fully explain it.
(2)
1.8. Briefly explain how a surveyor would take a level reading under a bridge. What is this method

(2)
[20]
Question 2
You are appointed to subdivide an Erf in Windhoek North. You found two working stations from previous
surveys done by another land surveyor, but you are not able to set-up your instrument any one of them.
Use the information below to calculate co-ordinates for Revl.
Please note:
• The Atmospheric Correction and the Conversion to German Legal Metre is already applied to all
measured distances
• You have to calculate a DOUBLEREVERSEPOLAR.
Use the following combination: Hohe Win and WPl, and Nubuamis and WP2
Combined Sea level & Scale Enlargement Factor= 1+ [(y2/(2R2) - H/R)], where R = 6 370km and
H = 1700.000m

Question 3
3.1. Calculate oriented directions for the traverse by completing the direction sheet on Data Sheet 1.
Use the said Data Sheet for all your calculations. Please detach the Data Sheet and submit with
your examination book.
(10)
3.2. Calculate the final co-ordinates for the traverse points on Data Sheet 2. Use the said Data Sheet for
all your calculations. Use the Bowditch Rule to adjust the traverse. Please note that the directions
are oriented, and the distances are final. Please detach the Data Sheet and submit with your
examination book.
