Problem 3. A trigonometric leveling was performed in the field, the two points A and B of a certain rough terrain are each distance 1500 m from a third point C, from which measured vertical angles to A is +4°30' and to B is +1°30'. Elevation at C is known to be 125.75 m above sea level. Point C is in between A and B. a) Compute the difference in elevation between A and B considering the effect of the earth's curvature and refraction., b) Compute the difference in elevation between B and C. c) Compute the elevation of A.
