1. Two hills A and C have elevations of 610m and 790 m respectively. Inbetween A and C is another hill B which has an elevation of 700 m and islocated 10km from A and 13km km from C.a. Determine the clearance or obstruction of the line of sight at hill B if theobserver is at A so that C will be visible from A.b. If C is not visible from A, what height if tower must be constructed so that itcould be visible from A with the line of sight having a clearance of 1.9mabove hill B?c. What height of equal towers at A and C must be constructed in order thatA, B, C will be intervisible?2. C is a point having an elevation of 500m above datum, while A and B arepoints of unknown elevation. B is in between A and C. By means of aninstrument set at 1.3m above B, vertical angles are observed, that to A being -13°30' and that to C being +9°31'. The horizontal distance AB is 600m and thehorizontal distance BC is 1km. Making due allowance for earth's curvatureand atmospheric refraction.a. Compute the difference in elevation between A and B.b. Determine the difference in elevation between B and C.c. Determine the elevation of A.d. Determine the elevation of B.

The top of the tower signal at B which is 2km away from A was sighted through a transit with recorded vertical angle of 2o30'. The height of the signal situated on top of the tower is 12m and the height of the transit above the point where it is set is 1.10m. The elevation at A is 133.33m, compute the elevation of the base of the signal considering the effect of earth's curvature and refraction.
Cathedral Hill is on a line between Constable Hill and Aurora Hill. Cathedral Hill is 6.235 km from the Constable Hill and Aurora Hill is 11.018 km from the Constable Hill. The elevation of the hills are: Conștable HilI, 1260.86 m; Aurora Hill, 1266.44 m; and Cathedral Hill, 1261.04 m. Determine the height of identical towers to be constructed at Constable Hill and Aurora Hill so that the line of sight will clear Cathedral Hill by 5.0 m.

6) The top(T) of a radio transmission tower was sighted from two small hill tops A and B which were in line with T. the angle of elevation from A to the top of tower was 38°21' and that from B to the top of tower was 21°18'. The angle of elevation from B to a target 3 m above the ground level at A was 14°56', The heights of the theodolite at A and B were 1.80 m and 1.50 m respectively. The horizontal distance between A and B was 150m and the reduced level of B was 121.50m. Calculate the RL of the top of the tower and the horizontal distance from A to the tower.
) On a truly vertical aerial photograph, whose focal length is 100.00 mm, the base ofthe corner of a vertical building appears 50.00 mm from the principal point. The top of thesame corner of the building is measured to the 51.00 mm from the principal point. It has 2been determined that the flight altitude of the camera above the ground at the base of thebuilding is 8000.0 ft. What is the height of the building?
