When you have two parametric equations what's the name of the rule you can use to work out dy by dx?
The chain rule.
What is the difference between a tacheometer and a theodolite?
A tacheometer is a type of theodolite used for rapid measurements. It determines the distance to the target electronically or electro-optically. Tacheometry is a system of rapid surveying that does not use chain or tape. There are times when measuring with a theodolite and measuring tape can be dangerous or impossible.A theodolite is an older surveying tool. Those were just precision optical devices used to compute angles between known fixed points, and they required using trigonometry to get the final values. However, there are modern versions of theodolites called Total Stations that are more convenient to use than even a tacheometer. These will cost you about $50,000 a piece or so.Please note that the question asks about a tacheometer (or tachymeter) which is a surveying tool, not a tachometer which measures engine speed.
What to use to measure mm of a gold chain?
To measure the mm of an item you would need to use a metric ruler. The metric ruler has cm and mm on it.
How much chain and rope would you need for a 7.5kg Bruce anchor?
It depends on how deep the water is you are anchoring in. If you use all chain then multiply the depth by 3 and add enough extra chain to reach from the water surface to your cleat. If you use all rope then multiply the depth by 5 and add enough rope to reach from the water to your cleat.
What would you use to measure the weight of a watermelon?
A bathroom scale would work
What measuring tool would a surveyor use?
A theodolite.
What is the function of a theodolite?
theodolite are use in construction calculate the angle and horizantal distance and for fixed the point
What do cartographers use to see the elevation of landforms?
A theodolite.
When do you use theodolite for surveying?
To measure Angles, Process of Measuring Horizontal and vertical Angles
Can you use the power from a 3 way hall light for a closet light that would work on a pull chain?
It is doubtful that the hall light is the starting point of the power. You could add a closet light that would work when the hall light was on, but probably not to work independently.
How do you do valuation?
I suppose you mean a survey to establish area? Surveyors do this with long tapes, for an area of an acre or more they would probably use a theodolite, which enables angles to be measured, to get the right shape for the area.
Why cant you use a chain block horizontally?
Because it depends on gravity to work. -Gravity doesn't work horizontally .
What would be the best use of RFID for a business?
Supply chain management
What are the advantages and disadvantages in theodolite surveying?
Advantages of Theodolite Greater accuracy Internal magnifying optical system Horizontal circle can b instantly zeroed r set 2 any other value
How do you use a theodolite?
Process of Measuring Horizontal Angles Using a Theodolite 1. Setting up the Theodolite: This includes mounting the theodolite on a tripod and making sure it is comfortable for the user. 2. Unlock the upper horizontal clamp. 3. Rotate the theodolite until the arrow in the upper or lower rough sight points to the feature of interest and lock the clamp. 4. Look through the main eyepiece and use the upper horizontal adjuster to align the vertical lines on the feature of interest. 5. The reading is taken by looking through the small eyepiece. Using the minutes and seconds adjuster set the one of the degrees on the horizontal scale so the single vertical line on the bottom scale is between the double vertical lines under the selected degree. 6. The reading is the degree which has been aligned and the minutes and seconds read from the right hand scale and is the horizontal angle from the reference line. Process of Measuring Vertical Angles Using a Theodolite Process of Measuring Vertical Angles 1. Setting up the Theodolite: This includes mounting the theodolite on a tripod and making sure it is comfortable for the user. 2. Unlock the vertical clamp and tilt the eyepiece until the point of interest is aligned on the horizontal lines. Lock the clamp in place. 3. Looking through the small eyepiece, use the minutes and seconds adjuster to align one of the degrees on the vertical scale with the double lines just below it. 4. The reading is the degree that has been aligned and the minutes and seconds is read from the right hand scale. 5. To complete the reading, it may be necessary to measure the distance from the theodolite to the point of interest. The above is al true, but doesn't discuss the practical uses of a theodolite. For example, if you want to know the height of the top of the gable on a house, you could use a theodolite. First, set up the theodolite (btw, I made one with a piece of copper tube, a protractor and a cheap wooden tripod) as noted above, make sure the ground is pretty level between the house and the theodolite, and then measure the distance from the vertical side of the house to the theodolite. (You may choose to move the theodolite so that the distance is the square of a whole number.) Then aim the scope (tube) at the upper-most point of the gable and note the degree of angle on the protractor. If you have pretty level ground between the theodolite and the house, the angle at the intersection of the side of the house and the ground should be 90 degrees. So, now we have two angles (the 90 degrees at the intersection of the side of the house and the ground, and whatever angle you recorded at the theodolite) and a side (the distance from the house to the theodolite). With this information, you can calculate the third angle and the other two sides, one of which will be the hypotenuse and the other will be -- tada! -- the final leg, which will tell you the height of the point you picked out at the top of the gable.
