the location of an object by measuring the angles from two or more fixed points. Surveyors often use triangulation to measure distance. Starting at a known location and elevation‚ surveyors measure a length to create a base line and then use a theodolite to measure an angle to an unknown point from each side of the base line (Jains 30-48). The length of the base line and the two known angles allow a computer or person to determine the location of a third point.. The length of the base line and two

Q: DESCRIBE THE 3 METHODS OF LEVELING AN AIRCRAFT Answer taken from CAAIPS PT 10 Levelling For some purposes‚ such as rigging or weighing‚ an aircraft must be leveled laterally and longitudinally and a number of different methods may be employed. 1 Spirit Level Many aircraft are levelled by use of a spirit level‚ which is placed at jigged positions on the airframe structure. On light aircraft the longitudinally level position is generally obtained by placing the spirit level on two pegs or on the

The Evolution of Scientific Thought Essay There use to be a time when all of humanity thought the earth was flat. But it didn’t start that way; all it took was one man to say the world was flat‚ and no one disputed him. No scientific experiments were conducted to test the accuracy of his statement. Instead everything was based on hearsay and physical observation. But the world has evolved‚ into a place where nothing can be taken for face value. But the question is‚ how the world went

establishing control points‚ their position being determined by measuring the distances between the traverse station which serve as control points and the angles subtended at the various stations by their adjacent stations. The angles are measured using theodolite and the distance measured by the method of traverse. We also measured the distance used the measurement tape. There are two types of traverse‚ namely the open traverse and the closed traverse. An open traverse originates at a point

Greek surveying was in turn adapted and further developed and progressed to an even greater accomplishment by the Romans. Roman monuments stand to this day as a testament to the greatness of Roman society. Some of the most distinctive monuments are the roads and aqueducts. These structures are impressive in their design and functionality‚ some of which can still be used today. These monuments also stand as a testament to those who built them. The surveyors of Rome played an essential role in
