EXAMINATION IN MENSURATION AND LAND SURVEYING. 
Maximum Number of Marks, 200. Pass Number, 100. 
Wednesday, May 9 th, from 10 a.m. till 1 p.m. 
1. On the plan given on page 4 of this paper 1 draw in pencil the chain lines 
you would run to enable you to make and plot a complete survey without the 
aid of angular instruments. 
Note. — The Candidate must not spend more than fifteen minutes over this 
question. 
2. Compute the area of the inclosure given upon page 2, 1 using the ordinary 
plotting scale for this purpose, and giving the result in acres, roods, and 
perches. Scale, 
3. From the field notes given upon page 3 1 lay down the survey lines, and 
plot the details to a scale of 2 chains to an inch. 
Note. — The Candidate must not spend more than forty minutes over this 
question. 
4. Make up the level book on page 2, 1 filling in the rises, falls, and reduced 
levels (heights above base). 
5. Plot the section in the last question to a scale of 2 chains to an inch 
horizontal, and 20 feet to an inch vertical. 
6. What area in statute acres will equal 14 a 3 r 20 p ? customary acres, 
where the rod or perch in use is 24 feet in length ? 
7. In the process of a Survey it is necessary to obtain the distance of a 
point (C) inaccessible by ordinary chaining. A base line A B is measured, 
and the following angles are taken to C from points A and B with a 
theodolite : — 
C A B = 38° 10' 
CBA = 66° 20' 
The length of A B is 43 chains 25 links. 
Give lengths of C A and C B. 
8. The Reduced level of a certain mark (A) is 45 - 25 feet. By means of a 
theodolite set over it — the axis of the telescope being 4 feet above it — the 
angle of elevation to another mark (B) was found to be 3° 14'. The 
distance A to B had been previously found by trigonometry to be 83 chains. 
Give the Reduced level of the mark (B) without taking into consideration 
Curvature and Refraction. 
9. Give the amount for Curvature and Refraction in the foregoing example, 
and state whether it will be an addition to or subtraction from the answer.
