Concept:

Slope, temperature, and tension corrections are required in chain surveying, not in Tacheometric surveying.

In Method of Tacheometry

In this figure, the Line of sight is horizontal and staff is held truly vertical.

Tacheometric distance formula

D = KS + C

Where,

K is (f/i) → called a multiplying constant

C is (f + d) → called an additive constant

As

f = focal length of the lens, i = stadia hair interval

Calculations:

k  = 100, S = 2.5

D = 2.5 × 100 = 250 m
