Instrumental Analysis:
Amber is an excellent source of preserved ancient organisms. Many bacteria remain dormant inside insects trapped in the amber and may be extracted, cloned and studied. Since the amber may be dated using geological methods, such investigations are a valuable source of ancient genetic information for biologists. Suggest a method that will permit the determination of metabolic products such as nucleic acids, short peptides and fatty acids obtained from cloned ancient bacteria. State any special instrument conditions or configuration.

1. Steel tapes must be maintained and checked regularly for damages such as kinks and breakages. If a damaged steel tape is used for measurements describe the type of error(s)that would be observed. (0.5marks)
2. To meet the tolerance required for a surveying project, it is necessary to use a total station. An obstacle makes it impossible to obtain a direct line of sight. Explain one technique that you would use to establish the line of sight past the obstacle. Use a sketch if necessary (0.5marks)

a.Identify all the safety precautions taken by the survey crew.(1 mark)
b.The lead surveyor describes at least four challenges that the survey crew had to overcome during the survey process. Identify these challenges, and describe the errors associated with them. (1 mark)
c.Identify all activities performed by the survey party to ensure accuracy. Classify these activities according to the categories outlined in the Guidelines for Accurate Surveying. (3marks)
4.A surveyor completes a levelling circuit from a known BM at point A ( RL = 37.730 m). At the end of the survey, the surveyor finds out that the rod person moved the graduated staff before a BS value was taken at the third change point. The levels obtained are as follows: 1.857 ( RL = 37.567 m), (0.983, 0.354), 0.571, 1.011, 2.151, (1.124, x), 0.890, (0.543, 3.178), 3.808.
a.Assuming that the misclosure for the level circuit is 0.000 m, find the probable value of the missing BS value x.(2marks)
b.Is the value of x in part (a) acceptable? Explain.(1mark)
c.Book the levels, including the value of x calculated in part (a) using the HPC method and show all arithmetic checks. (1mark)
5.A surveyor conducted a cadastral survey of a property outlined by survey pegs at points A, B, C and D.The total station was used to measure the length of lines AB and DA however due to battery failure, lines BC and CD were measured using asuspended30-metre steel tape. The measurements obtained are given in the table below:
| Line | Measured length(m) | Instrument used | Measured temp (0c) | Applied tension |
| AB | 156.034 | Total Station | 22.2 | - |
| BC | 253.109 | Taping | 22.4 | 90 |
| CD | 121.198 | Taping | 22.1 | 90 |
| DA | 106.075 | Total Station | 22.0 | - |
a.If the tape was standardised under a tension of 50 N at 20°C, apply the necessary corrections and compute the actual length of lines BC and CD.(1mark)
b.It is known that angle DAB is 102°15′40′′. After the survey, it is observed that the total station at point A is off the survey peg, coinciding with a point A′such that angle DA′B is 102°26′42′′. Find the length of distance AA′.(2mark)
c.Determine the actual length of lines AB and DA. (2marks)
Take:
Gravitational acceleration,g= 9.81 m/s2
Cross-sectional area of the tape, A= 3.15 mm2
Mass of the tape, m= 0.02 kg/m
Coefficient of linear thermal expansion, K= 0.9 × 10–6per °C
Young’s modulus, E= 14.8 × 104MN/mm2
