    This document contains 6 questions related to map projections and geodetic calculations. Question 1 asks to compute the tangent distance at a point with given latitude and eccentricity in a polyconic projection. Question 2 asks to compute the isometric latitude given the geodetic latitude and ellipsoid parameters in a conformal projection. Question 3 asks to compute plane coordinates from given geodetic coordinates using Lambert projection parameters. Question 4 asks to compute the difference in radii between two latitudes on Clarke's Spheroid. Questions 5 and 6 ask to compute longitude and geodetic distance, respectively, given plane coordinates and Lambert projection parameters.

    Map Projection
    Problems
    Question No. 1

     In a polyconic projection, instead of a single cone, a


    series of conical surfaces maybe used, points on the
    surface of the Earth being considered as projected
    to a series of frustums of a cone that are fitted
    together. Each parallel of latitude appears as the arc
    of a circle having as radius the corresponding
    tangent distance. The centers of these circles all lie
    in the central meridian of the map. If the length of
    the Earth’s equatorial radius is 6384 km and the
    latitude of the point to be plotted is 24°N with an
    eccentricity of 0.082271854, compute the length of
    the tangent distance at this point towards the central
    meridian.
    Question No. 2

     In conformal projection, instead of expressing


    the map coordinates x and y with known
    geodetic coordinates of latitude and longitude,
    an intermediate surface is introduced which is
    known as the isometric plane. The map
    coordinates x and y are expressed as functions
    of isometric latitude and longitude. Compute the
    isometric latitude at a point whose geodetic
    latitude is 30°. The length of the semi-major axis
    is 6380 km and the semi-minor axis is 6357 km.
    Question No. 3

     The latitude and longitude for a control


    station in a certain place is 41°21’10.403” and
    121°05’20.541”. From the data available from
    the tables are as follows:
    C = 2,000,000 ft Φ = 0°35’44.3869”
    R = 24,062,793.85 ft Rb = 24,792,436.23 ft
    Compute x and y plane coordinates for the
    point of the Lambert projection.
    Question No. 4

     Compute the difference in radius between the


    points having latitudes 40° and 41°40’,
    respectively on the Earth’s surface if Clarke’s
    Spheroid was to be used.
    Question No. 5

     The plane coordinates of a certain plane


    plotted on a Lambert projection is x =
    2,269,500.94 ft and y = 778,680.42 ft.
    Compute the longitude of this place from the
    table
    Rb = 24,792,496.23 ft
    C = 2,000,000 ft
    L = 0.6538843192
    Central Meridian is 122° W
    Question No. 6

     Given the plane coordinates of points A and


    B in a map projected by using the Lambert
    Projection as follows:
    Point x y
    A 2,250,159.06 m 730,942.76 m
    B 2,269,500.94 m 778,680.42 m
    If the average factor for A and B is equal to
    0.9999441, compute the geodetic distance
    between A and B.
