If we are levelling on the sloped surface then we need to keep staff near the instrument, otherwise, it will not be visible inside the instrument because of the slope (if the distance is more).
so here is the formula, UNDER WHICH DISTANCE WE MUST KEEP STAFF,
Sight= (Staff ht.- instrument ht.)/(1/10)
= (4 - 1.5) /0.1,
= 2.5/0.1,
= 25m.

If you will keep the staff more than 25m away from the instrument , IT WILL NOT BE VISIBLE INSIDE THE INSTRUMENT,

In a simple way we can say that;

Let consider the slope is downward which 1 in 10.

So at 10m, the staff reading becomes 1. 5+1=2. 5m (staff reading).

At 20 m distance reading becomes 3. 5m.

Similarly, at 25 m distance, the reading becomes 4m. Which is the full length of the staff?

Thanks.

The Hi is 1.5m so when and staff 4m.
The reading will be 2.5m on staff on plane. The slope being 1 in 10.
2.5 * 10 = 25 on down slope.

Thanks @sameer.

But if rising slope then maximum distance measured only 15 meters am I right?

Slope = 1/10.
HI = 1.5m.

Height of staff = 4.0 m.
Sight = (4-1.5)/(1/10) = 25 m.

staff readings visible for staff height of 2.5m so distance is 2.5x10 = 25m.

Slope 1:10 that means down 1 m for each 10 m distance.

So, 2.5 x 10 = 25 m.

Staff visible= 4-1.5=2.5m,
Site=2.5/(1/10),
= 2.5x10,
= 25m.

The instrument height of 1.5m, staff height 4m so 4 - 1.5 = 2.5m.

Please tell me what is the different betwn downslope an upslope.
