3) Local attraction refers to deviations of the magnetic needle from its normal position due to external magnetic forces, while dip is the inclination of the needle from the horizontal plane.
Surveying is used at various stages of a construction project from conceptual planning to maintenance. It involves measuring positions and elevations to determine spatial relationships and enable engineering design and construction. Common surveying methods include chain, compass, theodolite, plane table, tachometric, aerial photographic, and remote sensing surveys. Levelling specifically refers to determining relative elevations and is important for engineering works like establishing rail and road alignments and profiles. Key levelling instruments are dumpy level, tilting level, automatic level, and digital level.

This document discusses methods for setting out simple circular curves in surveying. There are two main methods: linear and angular.
The linear method uses only a tape or chain and does not require angle measurement. It includes setting out curves by offsets from the long chord, by successive bisection of arcs, and by offsets from the tangents.
The angular method is used for longer curves and involves measuring deflection angles. It includes Rankine's method of tangential angles using a tape and theodolite to measure deflection angles from the back tangent to points on the curve. The two theodolite method also uses angle measurement between two theodolites.
This document discusses contouring and contour maps. It defines a contour line as a line connecting points of equal elevation. The vertical distance between consecutive contours is called the contour interval, which depends on factors like the nature of the ground and the map scale. Contour maps show the topography of an area and can be used for engineering projects, route selection, and estimating earthworks. Methods of plotting contours include direct methods using levels or hand levels, and indirect methods like gridding, cross-sectioning, and radial lines. Characteristics of contours provide information about the landscape.

Engineering Surveying. Sixth Edition. W. Schofield. Former Principal Lecturer, Kingston University. M. Breach. Principal Lecturer, Nottingham Trent University.
The document describes a field experiment to measure a base line using manual surveying methods. It provides details on the equipment used, including a theodolite, auto level, thermometer, spring balance, supporting stands, pegs, steel tape, fiber glass tape and leveling staff. It also gives the objectives and relevant theory on base lines and how to measure them accurately using corrections for temperature, pull on the tape, and other factors.

Compass surveying involves measuring directions of survey lines using a magnetic compass and measuring lengths using a chain or tape. It is used when the area is large, undulating and has many details. In compass surveying, a series of connected lines are established through traversing. The magnetic bearing of each line is measured using a prismatic compass or surveyor's compass, and the distance is measured using a chain. Compass surveying is recommended for large and undulating areas without suspected magnetic interference. The key principles are measuring bearings using a compass and distances using a chain to establish connected lines through traversing without requiring triangulation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

high degree of precision throughout the process.
The procedure in setting out tunnels
naturally varies according to local

of precision throughout the process. This
is due to the fact that the survey results
will not be available for checking unless
and until the bore is holed through and if

demerits of plane tabling.

done simultaneously. (2 marks)
ii.
Merits :
21. Page | 20
· suitable for preparing small scale
maps.
· rapid
· field book not necessary
· comparison of plotted work with
actual features is possible.
· no omission of measurements.
· error in measurement and plotting
detected by check lines readily.
· useful in areas where compass
survey is not possible.
· contours and irregular objects
represented accurately.
· less costly than theodolite survey
· no skill is required.
Demerits:
· a tropical instrument
· not suitable for wet climate
· heavy, cumbersome and awkward
to carry.
· several accessories carried and
therefore tend to be lost.
· not intended for accurate work.
· if survey to be replotted, it is a
great inconvenience in the
absence of survey notes.

37(b) How will you set out horizontal angle by repetition method?
State what errors are eliminated by repetition method.
To measure angle PQR:
· set the instrument at Q. set 00
reading on vernier A. note vernier B
reading.
· loose the telescope and direct
telescope towards P. Clamp and
bisect point P.
· unclamp upper and turn instrument
clockwise towards R.
· note the readings in both verniers A
and B to get angle PQR.
· unclamp lower and turn telescope
clockwise to sight P.
· unclamp upper, turn clockwise and
sight R.
· repeat until the angle is repeated for
3 times.
· the average angle with face left will
be equal to final reading divided by
3.
24. P age | 23
· change face and make three more
repetitions. find the average angle.
· average horizontal angle = average
of the angles taken with face left and
face right.

Elimination of errors:
· due to eccentricity of verniers and
centers
· due to inadjustments of line of
collimation and trunnion axis
· due to inaccurate graduations
· due to inaccurate bisection of the
object, eccentric centering etc.

correspond to the width of foundation
trench to be excavated.
