08

b) Explain the principles of surveying.

12

2. a) Differentiate between Gunters chain and Engineers chain.

10b) A line was measured with a tape which was exactly 30 m at 20o C and found to be 498.48 m. The temperature during measurement was 32o C.Find the true length of the line. Take coefficient of thermal expansion of the tape per o C as 0.000018.
