Q: When measuring on sloping ground, which method involves taking measurements along the slope itself?
  • A. Direct method
  • B. Vertical interval method
  • C. Horizontal sub-tension method
  • D. Sagging method
Correct Answer: Option A - Direct method– This method is known as method of stepping also. Since the line is measured in smaller step length. Let AB be the length of line to measured on a sloping ground. The surveyor holds the tape firmly at A and the leader goes with a convenient length 1 of tap say, 5 m, 10 , 15 m and a ranging rod in hand. After ranging, the leader holds the chain horizontally. He may be guided by the surveyor or others in the party for horizontally of the tape. After stretching the tape, with the help of a plumb bob or by dropping a pebble, the leader transfer the end of the tape to the ground and marks.
