Which of the aforementioned errors can be classified as atmospheric errors?

Consider the following errors associated with EDM: 1) Precise centering at the master and slave station. 2) Error due to variation in meteorological conditions like temperature, pressure, humidity. 3) Errors associated with pointing/sighting of a reflector. Which of the aforementioned errors can be classified as atmospheric errors? Correct Answer Only 2

Concept:

Electronic distance measuring(EDM) instrument:

  • It is a surveying instrument for measuring distance electronically between two points through electromagnetic waves.
  • Electronic distance measurement (EDM) is a method of determining the length between two points, using phase changes, that occur as electromagnetic energy waves travel from one end of the line to the other end.

Errors in Electronic Distance Measurement Instruments are as follows:

Error in EDM Details
Personal Errors Inaccuracy in initial setups of EDMs and the reflectors over the preferred stations
Instrument and reflector measurements going wrong
Atmospheric pressures and temperature determination errors
Instrumental Errors Calibration errors
Chances of getting maladjusted time to time generating frequent errors
Errors are shown by the reflectors
Natural Errors Atmospheric variations in temperature, pressure as well as humidity. Microwave EDM instruments are more susceptible to these.
Multiple refractions of the signals.

Hence, errors due to variations in meteorological conditions like temperature, pressure, humidity, classified as atmospheric errors in EDM.

There is only one rail track between stations A and B on a railway line. One hour after the northbound superfast train N leaves station A for station B, the southbound passenger train S reaches station A from station B. The speed of superfast train is twice that of express train E, while the speed of passenger train S is half of that of train E. On some one day train N leaves from station A to station B 20 minutes late than its usual schedule. Both Train N and Train S have increased their speed to maintain the schedule as per the table. If the superfast train doubles its speed, then what should be the ratio (approximately) of the speed of the passenger train to the speed of the superfast train so that the passenger train reaches the station on that day at the exact scheduled time.

Consider the following statements about the Atmospheric pressure phenomenon and identify the correct ones. Atmospheric pressure is basically a force in any area pushed by any surface by the weight of the Earth's atmosphere.  The atmospheric pressure increases with an increase in the altitude for any region.  The earth's rotation affects the pressure of the atmosphere in various ways.
