Sum of Departures given Closing Error Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sum of Departures = sqrt(Closing Error^2-Sum of Latitudes^2)
ƩD = sqrt(e^2-ƩL^2)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Sum of Departures - (Measured in Meter) - Sum of Departures is the algebraic sum of departures where, departure of a line is its projection onto a line at right angles of the reference meridian.
Closing Error - (Measured in Meter) - Closing Error is the error formed during traverse surveying.
Sum of Latitudes - (Measured in Meter) - Sum of Latitudes is the algebraic sum of latitudes where latitude of a line is its projection onto the reference meridian (north-south line).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Closing Error: 50 Meter --> 50 Meter No Conversion Required
Sum of Latitudes: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ƩD = sqrt(e^2-ƩL^2) --> sqrt(50^2-40^2)

Evaluating ... ...

ƩD = 30

What is Closed Traversing?

A traverse is said to be a closed one if it returns to the starting point, thereby forming a closed polygon. In addition, a traverse which begins and ends at the points whose positions on the plan are known is also referred to as a closed traverse.

How to Calculate Sum of Departures given Closing Error?
