FIELD WORK PROCEDURE
FIELD WORK PROCEDURE

i. Each group is required to perform a peg test to check the instrument. ii. Each person in the group is record the results of the Peg Test in their own field book. iii. Set out and mark on the ground (with wooden pegs driven into the ground) two point some 15 m apart. iv. Instrument is set up midway between two point A and B. v. Staff is read on each staff point A and point B and the height difference is calculated. Made sure the bubble staff is center vi. Next, instrument is moved about 5m behind the point B. and staff at point A and point B is read. vii. Record the data.

RESULT

Point A1 – point B1
=1.312 – 1.310
=0.002m
Point A2 – point B2
=1.239 – 1.238
=0.001m
STN 1 – STN 2
= 0.002 – 0.001
=0.001m
=1mm
∆ < ± 2mm

ANALYSIS

    In this laboratory I learned how to measure the altitudes of stars using a quadrant. A quadrant is a quarter of a circle that has been divided into 90 degrees. I also learned how to find the angular diameters of the Sun and Venus. We used the calibration bar to find the scale of the ruler; image scale calibration is a task astronomers perform routinely. To find the scale you divide the bar length in degrees by the bar length in ruler units.…

    This form of test is done on site on an outcrop rock that is not disturbed; this is usually done by extracting a sample material for oncoming laboratory work. The penetration tests are done on two different sections of outcrop with an in-between distance of about 15 metres. A frequently used apparatus is a spring-loaded pocket penetrometer made by Eijelkamp, the Netherlands. What makes it special is that it does not have a cone like most penetration instruments but has a needle…
