Taping on sloping ground summary.

Taping on sloping ground is our third field exercise for the day that is composed of two methods. For the first method we needed more equipment compared to the second field work because we have to deal with sloping ground. Our group started by preparing and inspecting all the equipment that we need for this task. When we got to the site our group established a starting point on top of the slope. From the top we pulled 5mto the second point where in we have one person who checks if the tape is straight horizontally and a plumb bob to keep the far end of the tape aligned vertically with the second point. We did the same process all the way to the other of the measured distance. The second method that we used to measure a sloping ground is by using a hand level. The concept behind the hand level is Pythagorean theory. By getting one of the angle and hypotenuse the elevation of the slope could be measured.
