1. Empty cylindrical cans can be used to measure rainfall at any point in a given area. Assuming you used a 25 cm diameter receiving can to catch rainfall in your locality and poured the collected amount into another can, what should be the diameter of the measuring can (in cm) so that rainfall amount to be recorded is comparable to the amount collected using the standard rain gauge? If 5mm of rain was collected in the receiving can, how much will be its equivalent depth in the measuring can? 2. On the following days, the following observations were taken: TIME HOOKGAUGE READINGS 8" STD. RAINGAUGE READINGS (mm) (mm) 60.5 Mar 1 8 AM 0.0 2 PM 48.2 6.5 Mar 2 8 AM 53.6 1 2 PM 59.1 Mar 3 8 AM 53 5.2 What is the daily rainfall (in mm) on March 2? b. What is the daily pan evaporation (in mm) on March 2?

Transcribed Image Text:1. Empty cylindrical cans can be used to measure rainfall at any point in a given area.
Assuming you used a 25 cm diameter receiving can to catch rainfall in your locality
and poured the collected amount into another can, what should be the diameter of the
measuring can (in cm) so that rainfall amount to be recorded is comparable to the
amount collected using the standard rain gauge? If 5mm of rain was collected in the
receiving can, how much will be its equivalent depth in the measuring can?
