What is intercept of staff?
Aman said:   9 years ago
If staff is not vertical, the reading will be too great. If staff is normal to the line of sight the value will be minimum or accurate. It will not be maximum. The intercept of staff increases when it is tilted away from norman and decreases or gets minimum when moved towards normal.
