Error of closure = 101.225 - 100 = + 1.225 m
There are ten (10) set up for the instrument. Thus for each set up, there is an error of 0.1225 m.
Therefore correction for each set up = - 0.1225 m
Adjusted elevation of B.M.2 = 95.125 - 4 x .1225 = 94.635 m
Adjusted elevation of B.M. 3 = 97.46 - 7 x .1225 = 96.603 m
Data from a differential leveling have been found in the order of B.S., F.S..... etc. starting with the initial reading on
B.M. (elevation 150.485 m) are as follows : 1.205, 1.860, 0.125, 1.915, 0.395, 2.615, 0.880, 1.760, 1.960, 0.920,
2.595, 0.915, 2.255, 0.515, 2.305, 1.170. The final reading closes on B.M.. Put the data in a complete field note form
and carry out reduction of level by Rise and Fall method. All units are in meters.
