- Question
The slope correction for a 3° slope for a length of 100 m, is
Options- A. -0.11 m
- B. -0.12 m
- C. -1.87 m
- D. -0.137 m
- Correct Answer
- -0.137 m
ExplanationSlope correction = -L(1-cos ?). Where L Slope Distance, ? Slope angle(Slope correction is always negative).
= -100(1-cos 3°)
= -0.137
