AIM: Plane table survey
Requirements: measuring tape, plane table setup, tripod, staff
Procedure: 1.select a area to be surveyed
2. set the tripod and fix the place taken on it
3. Check the level of the the setup using spirit level
4. set on the table in the middle of it a drawing paper and stand with pens
5. when the centre of the paper with a pen
6. at the end points of the plot hold a star
7. using the reactor scale adjust the angle of it such that when viewed from behind the slot the staff should be seen at the centre of the wire or string
8. market with a line
9. take a tape and measure the distance between the plane table and place where the staff is held
10. once the reading is complete you will have a roughly generated map of of the plot
11. as it is easier to get the area of the plot using the triangle method
12. cut the plot area in such a way that you will get triangles of which you would know the length and height
13. then using the formula ½*l*h get the area of the triangles and add them up to get the area of the plot
