THE CLO4 was comprised of this major topic:

Module 4: Computation for Missing Data

This module shows how to determine missing data analytically to obtain a complete set of notes for the traverse since sometimes, it is not possible or practical to determine by field observation the length or direction of a line within a close traverse.

One problem that was stuck in my mind in this classwork assignment would be item #2 in classwork assignment 4 which is regarding work. To discuss, the problem is tackling about the force of 1200 N compresses a spring from its natural length of 18 cm to a length of 16 cm. How much work is done in compressing it from 16 cm to 14 cm. I find this problem challenging di=ue to the fact that one must need first to learn the basic concepts of work in order in order to arrive to the outcome. This problem was answered with the presence of the integration for work as function of x from one boundary to another. To be specific, applying the hooke's law to these given values, the answer was easily determined to be 36 J.

Module 4: Computation for Missing Data

The discussion is so much similar to the topic regarding balancing the traverse which is composed of two rules. These are the compass and the transit rule. To differentiate. The compass or Bowditch rule which was named after the distinguished American Navigator Nathaniel Bowditch (1773-1838), is a very popular rule for adjusting a closed traverse. The correction to be applied to the latitude (or departure) of any course is equal to the total closure in latitude (or deprture) multiplied by the ratio of the length of the course to the total length or perimeter of the traverse.

In this module, I learned that that missing data may reduce the precision of calculated statistics because there is less information than originally planned. That is why to fill the loophole, we are going to use necessary formulas in relation to the concept of the problem.

It is evident in this topic that I applied integration to the evaluation of areas, volumes of revolution, force, and work. As it is one of the middle topics, I find myself engaged based on the reflective learnings that I had in this topic.
