Question

Total Station is an equipment used for _________.

• A. measurement of rainfall intensity
• B. noise level measurement
• C. air quality measurement
• D. determination of coordinates of unknown points relative to a known coordinate

Hint:

A Total Station combines an electronic theodolite for measuring angles and an EDM (electronic distance measurement) device to measure distances, making it essential for accurate coordinate determination.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

A Total Station is an electronic/optical instrument used in surveying. It is primarily used for determining the coordinates of unknown points relative to a known coordinate, using angle and distance measurements. Total Stations are extensively used in civil engineering, construction, and geodesy. 

Thus, the correct answer is (D) determination of coordinates of unknown points relative to a known coordinate.
