It is read off the azimuth scale, possibly magnified with a so-called microscope. say, 32 degrees, ll minutes. finer degrees of reading-out are possible with some types. This type of theodolite operation is not too different in principle than taking bearings on objects with a magnetic compass, and reading off the direction in degrees.
What else can I help you with?
What is the angle between the ramp and the horizontal?
The angle of inclination.
Explain what the measure of an angle is?
the measure of an angle is the degrees of an angle.
What is the measure of the supplementary angle of an interior angle?
The measure of the exterior angle.
Find the measure of angle and if the measure of angle abc60 the measure of angle and is represented by 5x 7 and the measure of angle dbc is represented by 9x-3?
No cheating!
When 15 is subtracted from the measure of an angle the result is the measure of a right angle what is the measure of the original angle?
15
What is the difference between transit and non transit thiodolite?
Transit theodolites (or just 'Transits') are those in which the telescope can rotate in a complete circle in the vertical plane, whereas the rotation in the same plane is restricted to a semi-circle for non-transit theodolites
How were theodolites useful in old times?
Theodolites were used in old times for surveying, mapping, and construction projects. They helped measure horizontal and vertical angles accurately, allowing for precise calculations of distances and elevations. Theodolites were essential tools for creating detailed maps, designing infrastructure, and aligning structures with precision.
What are the permanent adjustments of a theodolite?
Most theodolites have no "permanent" adjustments, since they are used to measure angles, both horizontal and vertical.
Why do surveyors use theodolites?
Surveyors use theodolites to measure angles in the horizontal and vertical planes with high accuracy. This allows them to determine directions and elevations of various points on the land they are surveying. The data collected from theodolites is essential for creating maps, construction projects, boundary delineation, and other surveying applications.
What are theodolites used to measure?
They are surveying instruments used to measure angles.
How do you measure disc angle of a disc plow?
Disc angle has main two angle : 1. Vertical angle 2. Horizontal angle
What is tacheometric surveying?
the special type of theodolite used to measure horizontal and vertical distance and horizontal angle.
How was the angle of inclination of the tower of Pisa calculated?
The angle of inclination of the Leaning Tower of Pisa was calculated using trigonometric methods and measurements of the tower's height and the horizontal distance from its base to the vertical line directly above its foundation. Surveyors and engineers have historically used tools like theodolites and clinometers to measure the angle of tilt. By comparing the height of the tower to the horizontal displacement, they could determine the angle of inclination, which has been observed to be approximately 3.97 degrees as of recent measurements. This angle has changed over time due to stabilization efforts and geological factors.
What is a horizontal angle?
A horizontal angle is an angle between lines on a horizontal plane.
What is horizontal as opposed to at an angle?
this is horizontal: ---------------------------- / / this is at an angle: / / /
What does slope determine?
Slope is the angle compared with the horizontal, where the horizontal is 90° to the vertical, which can be measured with a plumb line. So, put a weight on a string, measure the angle of the string to the angle you are measuring, subtract 90° and that will give you the slope.
What angle has the same horizontal displacment as 20 degrees?
20 degrees is a measure of angular displacement. This cannot be converted to lateral (horizontal) displacement.
