h^2/2l = 1.
h^2/2 * 20 = 1,
h^2/40 = 1.
h^2 = 40.

Therefore(h) =6.32 (how will come 3 answer plz explain briefly).

Not getting this. Please explain briefly.

How 3.3? Explain in detail.

For slope greater than 5% closer a closer approximation of corrected slope can be determined by h2/2l + h4/8l3.
Otherwise taken as h2/2l.

In the above example slope taken as 5% of length.
Length = 20 m therefore slope is 1.
Slope = height/length.

We have slope value equal to 1.
Then h2/2l = 1.
Answer is 6.32 m which is more than 3.

** If h is the difference in level between endpoints separated by l, then the slope correction is c=(h^2/2l)+{h^4/8(l^3)}.

** If h is less than 3m in a length often the 20 m, then the quantity h^4/8(l^3) can be neglected. Hence c = h^2/2l.

How h come in the answer?

Yps said:   9 years ago
The answer is 3 cm, not 3 m.

Vinay said:   9 years ago
How come h = 3.3?

Rihaan said:   9 years ago
@Vijay.

How, 3.3?

Two things I found in this discussion,

1) For a slope smaller than 10%, Slope correction = h^2/2l, and,
2) For a slope greater than 10%, Slope correction = h^2/2l + h^4/8l^3 should use.

But finally, I did not get the answer 3 or 3.333.

Please anybody explains this answer in detail.

Thanks in advance;).
