ƩL = sqrt(e^2-ƩD^2)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables
Functions Used
sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)
Variables Used
Sum of Latitudes - (Measured in Meter) - Sum of Latitudes is the algebraic sum of latitudes where latitude of a line is its projection onto the reference meridian (north-south line).
Closing Error - (Measured in Meter) - Closing Error is the error formed during traverse surveying.
Sum of Departures - (Measured in Meter) - Sum of Departures is the algebraic sum of departures where, departure of a line is its projection onto a line at right angles of the reference meridian.

What is Balancing a Traverse?

A traverse is balanced by applying correction to latitudes and departures. This is called balancing a traverse. However, it may be noted that balancing a traverse does not in any way improve it; it simply makes the figure geometrically correct.
