Two hills A and C have elevations of 600 m and 800 m respectively. In between A and C is another hill B which has an elevation of 705 m and is located at 12 km from A and 10 km from C. a.) Determine the dearance or obstruction of the line of sight at hill B if the observer is at A so that C will be visible from A. b.) If C is not visible from A, what height of tower must be constructed at C so that it could be visible from A with the line of sight having a clearance of 2 m. above hill B. c.) What height of equal towers at A and C must be constructed in order A, B and C will be intervisible.

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.

Four hills A, B, C and D are in straight line. The elevations are A = 247 m, B = 236 m, C = 314 m D = 396 m respectively. The distances of B, C and D from A are 12 km, 45 km and 60km respectively. Considering the effect of curvature and refraction of the earth. (a) Compute the height of equal towers on A and D to sight over B and C with a 3 m clearance.(b) Compute the elevation of the line of sight at B with the installation of equal heights of tower at A and D.(c) Compute the height of tower at A with a clearance of 3 m at C so that D will be visible from A, if the height of tower at D is 2 m.

1. INTERVISIBILITY OF STATIONS. It is desired to sight form Dimasalang Hill (elev. 196.85m) to Humanon Hill (elev. = 198.15m) 40km away. Sikatuna Hill (elev. = 197.65m), 2.2km away, apparently obstructs the line of sight. If towers of equal height on Dimasalang Gill ang Humabon Hill are to be constructed so that the line just clears Sikatuna Hill by 3.50m, what will be the height of these towers? How high a tower would be required on Humabon Hill alone? On Dimasalang Hill alone?
