Would you please explain the calculations! Why are you taken that h2/2l=1?

Second term neglect and l = 20.
So h2 = 2L.
h2 = 2*20.
h = 3.3m.
Near equal to 3m.
So h2 = 2L.
h2 = 2*20.
h = 3.3m.
Near equal to 3m.

@Vijay.
How, 3.3?

How come h = 3.3?

The answer is 3 cm, not 3 m.

** 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.

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.
