What is this asking ???

A surveyor compares the bearings at two ends of a line underground by using a gyrotheodolite. The results at each end can be compared after they are corrected for grid convergence, meridian convergence, deflection of the vertical and index error in the instrument. Could the effects of deflection of the vertical be ignored in practice? (Look up some values of the deflection of the vertical in extreme cases, and estimate how much they affect directions).

A land surveyor places two stakes 500 ft apart. He locates the midpoint between the two stakes and creates a perpendicular to the line that connects these two stakes. He needs to place a third stake 100 ft away along this perpendicular line. To apply the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem, the land surveyor would need to identify   the location of the third stake as equidistant from the original two stakes the location of the third stake as closer to one of...

What are the advantages of asking open-ended questions? Are there any advantages to asking close-ended questions? What about disadvantages for each question type? Why would we use surveys to collect self-report or victimization data? What makes them the best choice for this type of data collection? Why should we be aware of bias in questionnaire items? What can we do to reduce bias in our questions?

Two blocks are placed at the ends of a horizontal massless board, as in the drawing. The board is kept from rotating and rests on a support that serves as an axis of rotation. The block on the right has a mass of 4.0 kg. Determine the magnitude of the angular acceleration when the system is allowed to rotate.

A national manufacturer of ball bearings is experimenting with two different processes for producing precision ball bearings. It is important that the diameters be as close as possible to an industry standard. The output from each process is sampled and the average error from the industry standard is calculated. The results are presented below. Process A Process B   Mean 0.002mm      0.0026mm        Standard Deviation 0.0001mm      0.00012mm        Sample Size 25      12      The researcher is interested in...
