5. measurements of heights of buildings , towers e.t.c..By
use of simple tools like laser , protractor and
mathematical trigonometric functions.
Incident the laser on the building whose
height is to be calculate and find the distance between
the laser & the building on tower whose height is
to be measured .then by trigonometric function
calculate the height.
height =tangent of angle x distance
7. A clinometer or inclinometer is an instrument for
measuring angles of slope (or
tilt), elevation or depression of an object with
respect to gravity. It is also known as a tilt meter, tilt
indicator, slope alert, slope gauge, gradient
meter, gradiometer, level gauge, level
meter, declinometer, and pitch & roll indicator

11. pick a object (I measured a
telephone pole). You should be
far enough away from your
object that you can see the top
of it, and you need to be on
level ground with the base of
the object. I like to set
something down by my feet
once I've picked my spot, so
that I can easily come back to it.
12. First try to arrange the
laser setup from the pole
and so that the laser point
can reach the top of the
pole. second project the
laser to the top of the pole.
if you carefully observe, a
right triangle is formed and
measure the angle
between the line of laser to
the horizontal surface .
13. MEASURING DISTANCE:
Once you have your angle of
vision, use your tape measure
to find the distance from the
spot you're standing to the
base of the object you're
measuring . We must know
how far away you are to
accurately calculate the
height.

15. Calculation
of a clinometer is to measure the height of trees, which is easily done. A point should be marked with a stake as far from the centre of the trunk of the tree as its estimated height,

17. •Measuring steepness of a ski slope
•Setting firing angle of a cannon or
gun(determines projectile range)
•We can measure the distance of the plane from
the surface
•Certain highly sensitive electronic clinometer
sensors can achieve an output resolution to
0.0001 degrees-depending on the technology and
range, it limited to 0.01.
18. •Assume the path between the building and the point
of projection of the laser to be in straight line.
• While measuring the angles check the parallax
error.
•See that there are no objects present between the
laser and the point of projection
