The reading taken on a staff held 100 m from the instrument with the bubble central is 1.786. The bubble is then moved 3 divisions out of centre and the staff reading is observed to be 1.817 m. Find the angular value of one division of bubble tube and the radius of curvature of the bubble tube, the length of one division being 2 mm.

From the deck of a ship, the light at the top of a light house is visible just above the horizon. The heights of the top of light house and the eye of the viewer from the ship above mean sea level may be assumed as 85 m and 6 m respectively. Assuming the radius of the earth as 6370 km and the usual correction refraction, determine the distance between the ship and light house.

A dumpy level was set up with its eye-piece vertically over a peg C. The height from the top of peg C to the center of eyepiece was measured and found to be 1.578 m. The reading on the staff held on peg D was 1.008 m. The level was then moved and set up likewise at peg D. The height of eyepiece above D was 1.258 m and the reading on the staff held on peg C was 163.378.
