In a retrograde vernier, the smallest
division of the vernier is longer than the smallest division of its primary
scale.
27. What is the least count of a vernier
scale?
The least count of a vernier scale is
the value of one division of the primary
scale divided by total number of divisions of vernier scale.
28. What are the properties of a Direct
vernier scale?
In
a vernier scale, if the graduations increase in the same direction in which
graduation of the main scale increase and the smallest division of a vernier is
shorter than the smallest division of its primary scale. then it is known as Direct vernier scale.

drawn on a map?
The smallest length drawn on a map is
0.2 mm
30. Differentiate Geodetic surveys and
Cadastral surveying?
Surveyor
which are carried out to provide a national grid of control for preparation of
accurate maps of large areas are known as geodetic surveys, and the surveying
used for the determination of additional details such as boundaries of fields
houses and other properties is known as cadastral surveying.
31. Calculate the least count of a vernier, if 'x' is the smallest division of the main scale and 'n' is the number of divisions on the vernier?
x/n
32. Convert 1 foot and 1 yard?
1 foot = 12 inches and 1 yard = 3 feet
33. Illustrate about Archaeological
survey and City survey?
Archaeological survey is conducted for
unearthing relies of antiquity, while city surveys used for laying out plots
and constructing streets, water supply systems and sewers.
Note:
In India, survey of India department conducts the geodetic survey, and in
surveying the relative positions of points are located by measuring at least 2
points. The degree of precision required in survey work depends on the purpose
of survey. The principle of formation of a diagonal scale is based on the principle
of similar triangles. extended vernier is used in Abney level and the
astronomical sextant. 10 seconds is the least count of the vernier used in
Abney level. The effects of systematic errors are cumulative and can be
eliminated. The shape of earth is like a oblate spheroid.
34. Define the units in SI system?
In SI system, the units of different
quantities are defined as:
Plane Angle = Radian
Force = Newton
Luminous intensity = Candella
Electric current = Ampere
Solid Angle = Steradian
Power = Watt
Resistance = Ohm
Weight and Force = Newton
Pressure, Stress and Modulus of
elasticity = Pascal
35. Convert 1 degree and 1 grade?
1 degree = π/180
radians and
1 grade = = π/200
radians
36. What is radian?
Radian is the angle between two radii of
a circle which cut off on the circumstances on arc equal in length to the
radius.
37.
Differentiate double vernier and double folded vernier?
In a double vernier, the graduations on
the main scale are figured in both directions from a common zero. In a double
folded vernier, its length is half that of the corresponding double vernier.
38. In surveying, considering the shape
of earth and the planet venus are known as?
Considering shape of earth - Geodetic survey
Planet Venus - Astronomical Survey
39. Can we consider Telescopy as a
method of survey?
No, we can't.
40. Discuss about the parameters of
earth used in surveying?
The equator axis of earth is 42.95 Km
longer as compared to its polar axis and the radius of earth is approximated as
6371 Kms. If the extent of survey is more than 250 Km2, then only
the effect of curvature of earth is taken into account. geological survey is
usd for finding different strata in earth's crust.
41. Define survey?
Survey is the science of making figures
of the earth, measurements on earth's surface and terrain in form of maps.
42. Where is the zero-mean sea level taken in India?
In Calcutta.
43. What is the use of militry survey?
Military survey is used for determining
points of strategic importance of both offensive and defensive.
44. Define cadastral survey?
Cadastral survey is used to collect the
details of boundaries of fields, houses and other properties.
45. Convert 1 nautical mile, 484 square
yard and 10 square chain?
1 nautical mile = 1852 m
484 square yard = 1 square chain
10 square chain = 1 acre
46. Explain the reading of extended
vernier?
In an extended vernier, there are (2n-1)
primary divisions, which are divided into 'n' divisions on the vernier.
47. Define shrinkage factor?
Shrinkage factor can be defined as the
ratio of shrunk length to the true length.

available?
Seven base units.
