An offset is laid out 6° from its true direction on the field. Find the resulting displacement of the plotted point on the paper in a direction parallel to the chain line? (Given the length of offset is 10 m and scale is 5 m to 1 cm)

An offset is laid out 6° from its true direction on the field. Find the resulting displacement of the plotted point on the paper in a direction parallel to the chain line? (Given the length of offset is 10 m and scale is 5 m to 1 cm) Correct Answer 0.209 cm

Distance parallel to the chain = lsin∆/ s = 10 sin 6°/ 5 = 0.209 cm.
