How can avoid error in spirit leveling collimation error refraction error division of staff?
Collimation Error: Collimation error occurs when the collimation axis is not truly horizontal when the instrument is level. The effect is illustrated in the sketch below, where the collimation axis is tilted with respect to the horizontal by an angle α: Figure ( ) In this particular example, the effect is to read too high on the staff. For a typical collimation error of 20", over a sight length of 50m the effect is 5mm. If the sight lengths for back sight and foresight are equal, the linear effect is the same for both readings. When the height difference is calculated, this effect cancels: δh = (b + s. α) - (f + s. α) = b - f That is, the effect of the collimation error is eliminated if sight lengths are kept equal.
What is collimation error?
error in alignment between the optical axis of a telescope & the declination. it is line set out by the optical axis of the instrument ( level). so it is just an imaginary line that describes the ray of light that allows us to read different values from the leveling staff. this term arose from the fact that in differential leveling in surveying we must construct horizontal line of sight, but due to collimation error the collimation line (i.e. line of sight) will not be 100% horizontal (by horizontal we mean tangent the level surface at the instrument position), instead it will be slightly deviated. so what we are looking to achieve when we eliminate the collimation error (using the 2 peg test) is a horizontal line of collimation.

What is the two peg test?
A two peg test is a test for error within a surveying level. This test gives a fairly accurate check for the amount of collimation error. Collimation error is the difference between what the level hairs in the scope say is level, and what is actually level. To run the test, put two "pegs" e.g. (PK nails, Leveling turtles, etc) 100' apart from eachother. Place the level halfway between the two pegs. Take readings on both pegs and find the difference in elevation. Move the level 20 past either peg and take readings from both pegs. Find the difference in elevation again. If the elevation is different from the first readings, there is a collimation error.
There is an error in level 3?
It would help if you explain, level 3 of WHAT (for instance, what game); also, what error message (or other error condition) you get.
What is reduce level in survey?
A reduced level is the vertical distance between a survey point and the adopted level datum. There are two methods for calculating reduced levels, namely the "rise and fall" method and the "height of collimation" method. The latter reduces levels relative to the instrument height. As it has inferior built-in checks, it is unreliable.
Why does margin of error increases while level of confidence increases?
The margin of error increases as the level of confidence increases because the larger the expected proportion of intervals that will contain the parameter, the larger the margin of error.
Which raid level uses word parity for error correction?
RAID level 3
What is the solution of Level 93 on Soukoban?
There is a error and there is no solution of it...:)
The level of significance is the maximum allowable of what?
Type I error.
The surface of a liquid in a graduated cylinder should be read eye level to prevent a ------ error?
This is called parallax error.
How mach the erorr of dumpy?
A dummy error refers to the error made in an optical level that is used in construction and surveying.
