Instrumentation VI: Applications of Angle Measurement [0:25]

This course largely focuses on some of the types of problems that might be encountered on the CST, FS, and even PS exams. It begins with techniques for angle measurement with the compass.  Which involves solving for angles given observed bearings or directions. The concept of magnetic declination is then explained. The types of problems that may be encountered are explained by solving several of these, which involve paying strict attention to the information given. Running time 25 minutes.

You will learn…

• How to determine angles in a survey, given the directions measured with a magnetic compass
• How to understand and apply the declination, consisting of an angle between magnetic and true north, as well as the direction (east or west) and how to interpret that given information
• The process of analyzing the given data and solving various types of problems involving magnetic declination
