I. Multiple Choice
Direction. Choose the letter of the best answer.
1. The process of leveling in which the elevation of point or the difference
between points is measured from the observed horizontal distances and
vertical angles. Also called as indirect leveling.
a. Differential Leveling c. Barometric Leveling
b. Profile Leveling d. Trigonometric Leveling
2. The most commonly used leveling instrument in leveling
a. Dumpy Level c. Wye Level
b. Automatic Level d. Tilting Level
3. In leveling, a turning point is defined as
a. Reading taken on a rod held on a point whose elevation is to be
determined
b. A fixed point whose elevation is known
c. Reading taken on a rod held on a point of known or assumed elevation
d. Point between two benchmarks upon which foresight and backsight
readings are taken
4. In differential leveling, after taking a foresight at TP1, what should be done
next?
a. The level is transferred and set up at another convenient location beyond
TP1
b. The level is set up at any convenient location and take a back sight at the
benchmark
c. A foresight is taken on the rod held on BMb
d. Another foresight is taken at TP1 to check.
5. The horizontal distance from the center of the instrument to the rod on which
foresight is taken
a. Foresight c. Backsight
b. Foresight distance d. Backsight distance
6. What is the main difference between profile leveling and differential leveling?
a. Instrument used
b. Number of foresights per turning point
c. Ease of execution
d. Number of backsights per turning point

a. Set up the instrument at a convenient location
b. Take immediate foresights
c. Establish the line joining the initial and terminal points
d. Determine the height of instrument
8. These are taken along the centerline of the proposed project to provide an
accurate representation of the ground surface. Also known as ground readings.

II. Problem Solving

Direction: Questions requiring numerical computations and answers must be
accompanied by fully illustrated solutions. Box your final answer.

1. (10points).A 30-m tape (k=0.0000116; E= 2,000 kg/cm²) was standardized at

20°C and supported throughout under a tension of 5.45 kg and it was found to be
30.012m long. The tape had a cross-sectional area of 0.05cm²and a weight of
0.03967 kg/m. The tape was held horizontal, supported at the ends only, with a
constant tension of 9.09 kg, to measure a line from A to B in three segments as
per the recorded data shown below.

Section Measured Distance Temperature °C

A-1 30.000 14
1-2 30.000 15
2-B 21.151 16

a. Determine the correction for tape length.

b. Determine the correction due to temperature.
c. Determine the Correction due to pull.
d. Determine the correction due to sag.
e. Determine the correct length of the line.

2. (10points). The accompanying schematic arrangement of lines portray a

differential level route. The values indicated represent backsight and foresight
readings taken at different points as labeled. Prepare and complete level notes for
the information shown and perform the customary arithmetic check.

bearing of N83°40’E. if the vertex C lies somewhere north of side AB, determine
the bearing of side BC and CA.
