    The document provides instructions for a surveying field work to determine obstructed distances using various methods such as the cosine method, similar triangles, and random lines with chord bisection. The tasks involve designating points, measuring distances, setting range poles, and applying trigonometric formulas to compute the obstructed distance between two end points that have an obstruction in between. Proper documentation of observations and experiences from performing the field work is also required.

    DETERMINING OBSTRUCTED DISTANCE

    Gospel Devotion
    Psalm 127:1
    “Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city,
    the watchman waketh but in vain”.

    ______________________________________________________________________

    Objective: To determine the obstructed distance using tape.

    A. Instruments:
    1- 50 m tape
    10- marking pins
    3-range poles

    B. Survey Team:
    1- Head of team
    1- Head tape man
    1- Rear tape man
    2-survey aids

    C. Procedures:

    1. By Cosine method
    a) Designate A and B as the end points of obstructed line AB on level ground
    and C as the third point.
    b) Measure AB and AC diligently and layout a distance as shown.
    c) Compute AB by cosine law.

    obstruction

    AB = √ AB2 + BC 2 +2(AB)(BC) cos ACB

    2. By similar triangle
    a)Use the previous points A,B, and C.
    b) On line AC set point D beyond the obstruction.
    c)On line BC set point E such that the ratio of CE to BC equals the ratio of CD to
    AC.

    A B
    AB AC
    AC
    = CD

    3. By random line and chord bisection (swing offsets)


    4.
    a) Let AB be the obstructed line. Set range pole at a random line AO that is
    longer than AB beyond the obstruction.
    b) With the B as center, swing an arc with a sufficient tape length that will cut the
    line AO. Mark the cutting points as c and d.
    c) A and C midway between c and d lies the perpendicular CB
    d) Solve for AB.

    AB2 = AC2 + BC2
