Numerical On Latitudes and Departures

This problem involves calculating the length and bearing of line DA in a traverse survey where the length and bearing of the last line were not recorded. The latitudes and departures of the other lines are provided in a tabular form. Using the properties that the sum of latitudes and departures must be equal to zero in a closed traverse, two equations are set up and solved for the latitude and departure of line DA. The calculated latitude is 50.3 meters and the departure is -176.56 meters. This indicates that the bearing of line DA is N74°5'W. The Pythagorean theorem is then used to calculate the length of line DA as 183.58 meters.

9.22 WORKED-OUT PROBLEMS ON LATITUDE AND
DEPARTURE, WITH INCOMPLETE DATA
Problem 1 The following records
the length and
are obtained in a traverse survey, where
bearing of the last line were not recorded:
Line
Length (m) Bearing
AB 75.50
BC
30°24
180.50 110°36
CD 60.25 21030
DA

Compute the length and bearing of line DA.

Solution Let L = length of DA

bearing of DA
The calculations of latitudes and departures of the traverse are arranged in tubular
form as follows:

Length RB Latitude Departure


Line WCB
in m (L) (L cos 6) (L sin 6)

AB 75.50 30°24' 30°24' 75.50 cos 30°24' 75.50 sin 30°24'


= +65.12 = +38.21
NE

BC 180°50 11036 69 24 180°50 cos 69 24 180.50 sin 69°24'


= +168.95
SE =-63.51
60.25 cos 30°- 30 60.25 sin 30°30
CD 60.25 210°30' 3030 - 30.60
SW 51.91

L cos 6 L sin 6
DA L

of latitudes as also that of departures must


n a closed traverse, the algebraic sum

be equal to zero.
+65.12 - 63.51 51.91 +L cos & = 0 (1)
So,
L cos 6 =
50.3 (2)

Again t+38.21 + 168.95 -

30.60+ L sin 6 =0 (3)


L sin 6
= -

176.56 (4)
the line DA
and the departure is negative,
eSind the latitude of line DA is positive
will be in the NW
quadrant.
L sin 176.56 (here, the signs of latitude and
Lcos 6 50.30 departure need not be considered)
Surveying and Levelling
334
tan 3.5101
or
74°5
Bearing of DA
=
N 74°5 W
Therefore.
Distance DA =
y(50.3) + (176.56)?
= 183.58 m
