In this activity, you'll construct a segment bisector by completing a geometric construction. In order to construct a segment bisector, a line segment that divides another line segment into two congruent segments, you will want to use a straightedge and a compass. The first tool you need to know how to use is a straightedge, in order to create a line. A straightedge can work in many ways. If you're using actual paper and a pencil, a straightedge can be...

Observations, using an electronic theodolite were taken in the field for 5 sided polygon traverse, ABCDE. These observations are tabulated below. The coordinates of station A are 1000.000m E, 1000.000 m N. Orienting bearing of leg AB is 73°00’00”. Leg BC is in S.E quadrant. Using these data determine the adjusted coordinates of B, C, D and E applying Bowditch’s rule.

1. In an experiment to study standing waves, you use a string whose mass per length is µ = (1.8 ± 0.1) × 10−3kg/m. You look at the fundamental mode, whose frequency f is related to the length L and tension T of the string by the following equation L = 1 2f s T µ . You make a plot with L on the y-axis and √ T on the x-axis, and find that the best fitting line is...
