Passometer is used to measure the?

  • A.No. of paces in a given distance
  • B.No. of steps in vertical plane
  • C.No. of obstacles in a distance
  • D.No. of revolutions in a distance

Answer: A

A passometer measures the number of paces in a given distance.

The passometer counts each step automatically as the surveyor walks. Multiplying the count by the average length of the surveyor's pace gives a rough distance, which is good enough for reconnaissance and small-scale surveys.

It does not measure steps in a vertical plane, nor count obstacles. Counting the revolutions of a wheel over a distance is the job of an odometer or a perambulator (measuring wheel), not a passometer.
