Calculate the Horizontal Length After Slope Correction of Tape
Mathematical Problem:
The downhill end of the 30 m tape is held 70 cm too low. What is the horizontal length?
Solution:
Given,
l = Length of the tape = 30 m.
h = 70 cm = 0.70 m
Correction for slope = =
= 0.00817 m.
Hence, the horizontal length = 30 – 0.00817 = 29.99183 m
