Name: Dante M Suarez Jr. Course/Section: BSSE 3A
On a map the scaled distance between points A and B is 15.45 cm, and the
given elevation of the two points are 815.26m and 836.45m, respectively. Assuming
uniformity of slope between the two points, calculate the distance from point A on the
map where each of the following contour lines will cross the line joining the two points:
820, 825, 830, and 835m.

Interpolating Contours Graphically
Name: Dante M Suarez Jr Course/Section: BSSE 3A
The accompanying tabulation gives elevations of points over the areas of a 30m
by 40m city lot. The elevations were obtained by the Checkerboard Method using 10-m
squares. Point A-1 is located at the northwest corner of the lot and point E-4 at the
southeast corner. All elevations are in meters.

Requirements:
a.) Plot the contours using a horizontal scale of 6cm = 10m and a contour interval of
1 meter.
b.) Arrange the plotting paper so that the longer side is vertical (Use “8 1/2” by “11”
bond paper).
c.) All corner designations and corresponding elevations must be indicated,
including all vertical and horizontal lines.
d.) Show the direction of north and indicate the scale used.
e.) Indicate the elevations of the following index contours: 880, 885, 890, and 895m.
The thickness of the index contours must be drawn about twice the thickness of
intermediate contours.
f.) Use a pencil for the initial plot and ink the final plot using a technical pen.

In the accompanying figure, triangulation stations A, B, and C are observed from

P, a hydrographic station whose location is to be established by the principle of the
three-point problem. The known data are: the angle BAC (the exterior angle) =
102 ° 45' 20 , alpha (angle BPA) = 26 ° 34 ' 50 , beta (angle APC) = 44 ° 15 ' 15 , b or side AC
= 6883.4m, and c or side AB = 6605.3m. By the analytical method determine the values
of X, Y, d, e, and m which are needed to locate P.

At a certain section of a river the left and right water edges are 3.0 and 45.0
meters respectively from an initial reference point. Verticals are located at distances 7.0,
12.0, 16.5, 19.5, 23.0, 27.0, 32.0, 35.0 and 39.5 meters from the initial point. Depths of
verticals are 1.8, 3.5, 4.6, 3.4, 5.8, 6.6, 5.7, 3.6, and 1.2 meters. Mean velocities in the
verticals are 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.50, 0.48, 0.55, 0.54, 0.48, and 0.20 meters per second,
respectively. Determine the following:
A.) Cross sectional area of the river (sq. m.)
B.) Discharge of the river (cum/sec)
C.) Average velocity of flow of the river (m/sec)

Name: Dante M Suarez Jr Course/Section: BSSE 3A

A hydrographic survey of a lake produced the following approximate data:
13,340 sq. m. = area enclosed by the water line
  8,550 sq. m. = area enclosed by contour 1
  5,149 sq. m. = area enclosed by contour 2
  2,088 sq. m. = area enclosed by contour 3
  1,975 sq. m. = area enclosed by contour 4
If the vertical distance between contour levels is 3.0 meters determine the
approximate total volume of the lake above the level of contour 4.

Water Line= A 0=13,340 sq .m .

Contour 1= A1=8,550 sq . m .

Contour 2= A2 =5,149 sq . m.

Contour 3= A 3=2,088 sq .m .

Contour 4= A 4=1,975 sq . m.
