The least count and difference of instruments between a total station and an auto level.
The least count of an instrument refers to the smallest measurement that can be accurately read or recorded.
The least count of a total station is typically smaller than that of an auto level.
Total stations are more precise and offer higher accuracy compared to auto levels.
The difference in least count between the two instruments dep...
The question asks about measuring distance and angle in millimeters and seconds of arc.
1mm is a unit of measurement for distance, equivalent to 0.039 inches.
1" (second of arc) is a unit of measurement for angle, equivalent to 1/3600th of a degree.
The range for distance in the question is 2-5mm.
A surveyor is a professional who measures and maps land, airspace, and water bodies.
Surveyors use specialized equipment to measure and map land, airspace, and water bodies.
