Horizontal Distance between Center of Transit and Rod Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Horizontal Distance = (Stadia Factor*Rod Intercept*(cos(Vertical Inclination of Line of Sight))^2)+(Instrument Constant*cos(Vertical Inclination of Line of Sight))
HHorizontal = (K*Ri*(cos(a))^2)+(fc*cos(a))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables
Functions Used
cos - Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle., cos(Angle)
Variables Used
Horizontal Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Horizontal distance between center of transit and rod.
Stadia Factor - Stadia Factor is the ratio of the focal distance to the distance between the stadia hairs.
Rod Intercept - (Measured in Meter) - Rod Intercept gives the reading from the rod.
Vertical Inclination of Line of Sight - (Measured in Radian) - Vertical Inclination of Line of Sight measured from the horizontal.
Instrument Constant - (Measured in Meter) - Instrument Constant also known as additive constant.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Stadia Factor: 11.1 --> No Conversion Required
Rod Intercept: 3.2 Meter --> 3.2 Meter No Conversion Required
Vertical Inclination of Line of Sight: 30 Degree --> 0.5235987755982 Radian (Check conversion ​here)
Instrument Constant: 0.3048 Meter --> 0.3048 Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
HHorizontal = (K*Ri*(cos(a))^2)+(fc*cos(a)) --> (11.1*3.2*(cos(0.5235987755982))^2)+(0.3048*cos(0.5235987755982))
Evaluating ... ...
HHorizontal = 26.9039645430735
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
26.9039645430735 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
26.9039645430735 26.90396 Meter <-- Horizontal Distance

How is Stadia Surveying different from other Surveying Methods?

Stadia Surveying is different from other surveying methods such as GPS surveying or total station surveying in that it does not require any electronic equipment or signals. It is a manual method that relies on the skill of the operator to obtain accurate measurements.

What is Gradienter?

It is mainly used in setting out gradients, but is also used in tacheometry. When the tangent screw actuating the vertical circle of a theodolite is provided with a micrometer head and a scale for counting the whole turns by which it has been turned, it is called gradienter. The pitch of the screw is kept such that when moved by one revolution, the line of sight moves by tan–1 0.01.
