M7-1 CURVATURE AND REFRACTION. A man on shore standing close to the sea's
water edge looks out toward the direction of the sea. If his eyes measure
1.72 m above sea level, determine how far out to sea is his visible horizon,
neglecting the effect of waves.
M7-2 CURVATURE AND REFRACTION. Neglecting the effect of tide and waves,
determine how far out to sea a boat will be when a light on its mast 60
meters above the water disappears from the sight of a man on shore whose
eye level is 1.583 m above the water.

M7-5 TRIGONOMETRIC LEVELING. A vertical angle of -12°25' is measured to the
top of a water tank from an instrument set up on a hill 585.00 meters away
from it. The telescope of the instrument is 1.45 m above the ground whose
elevation is 462.73 m. Making due allowance for the earth's curvature and
atmospheric refraction, determine the elevation of the base of the water
tank is the tank is 32.0 m high.
