A theodolite is an instrument which is capable of measuring angles to the nearest whole second [Figure 4.1]. This can be done for both vertical and horizontal angles. Vertical angles are required for the calculation of elevation of points for example the reduction of slope distance to the horizontal. Figure 4.1: Atheodolite Source: SouthGeosystems Horizontal angles are required to obtain the relative direction to a survey control station or points of detail. Basically there are two types of

the horizontal motion and the vertical motion are independent of each other; that is‚ neither motion affects the other. Acceleration Since there is no acceleration in the horizontal direction velocity in horizontal direction is constant which is equal to ucosα. The vertical motion of the projectile is the motion of a particle during its free fall. Here the acceleration is constant‚ equal to g.[1] The components of the acceleration: a_x = 0 ‚ a_y = -g .

schematic view of the ocean bottom‚ the vertical scale is given in kilometers (km). This vertical scale is vastly different from the horizontal scale. The vertical distance between scale markings is [(1)(10)(100)] km. 2. The ocean trench in the schematic view has a maximum depth of [(8)(80)(800)] km below sea level. 3. The distance between scale markings on the horizontal scale is 100 km. Comparison of the vertical and horizontal scales indicates that the vertical scale is exaggerated [(10)(100)(1000)]
