Q: The distance between steps for measuring downhill to obtain better accuracy
  • A. Decreases with decrease of slope
  • B. Increases with increase of slope
  • C. Decreases with increase of slope
  • D. Decreases with decreases of weight of the chain
Correct Answer: Option C - Direct method (stepping method) – The method consist in measuring the line in short horizontal length called step. The distance between steps should be reduced as the gradient increase for better precision. – On this basis the horizontal equivalent is kept lower when there is more slope on the mountain while the horizontal equivalent is increase when the flat surface has less slope. – The distance between steps for measuring downhill for obtain better accuracy decreases with increase of slope.
