Total Error in Latitude if Correction is Known from Bowditch Rule Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Error in Latitude = Correction to Latitude*Perimeter of Traverse/Latitude of Line
e_l/r = c_l/r*P/L
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Error in Latitude - (Measured in Meter) - Error in latitude is the error occurred either in measurement or noting while surveying.
Correction to Latitude - (Measured in Meter) - Correction to Latitude is the improvement given to the latitude distance.
Perimeter of Traverse - (Measured in Meter) - Perimeter of Traverse is the sum of the lengths of lines which is used for traversing.
Latitude of Line - (Measured in Meter) - Latitude of Line is the projection of the specific line in north-south direction.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Correction to Latitude: 11.5 Meter --> 11.5 Meter No Conversion Required
Perimeter of Traverse: 85 Meter --> 85 Meter No Conversion Required
Latitude of Line: 20 Meter --> 20 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

e_l/r = c_l/r*P/L --> 11.5*85/20

Evaluating ... ...

e_l/r = 48.875

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

48.875 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

48.875 Meter <-- Error in Latitude

Total Error in Latitude if Correction is Known from Bowditch Rule Formula

LaTeX Go

Error in Latitude = Correction to Latitude*Perimeter of Traverse/Latitude of Line
e_l/r = c_l/r*P/L

What is Bowditch Rule?

It is used to balance a traverse when the linear and angular measurements are equally precise. It is assumed that the errors in the linear measurements are proportional to sqrt(l), where l is the length of the line, and those in the angular measurements are inversely proportional to sqrt(l), which is questionable.
If equal weights are assigned to linear and angular measurements, the errors and hence the corrections are proportional to the lengths of the lines.
