Question 1.
Convert the following reduced bearings to whole circle bearings:
N.36°16'E; (b) S.28° 14' E. (c) S.47°26'W and (d) N.58°24'W
Question 2.
Convert the following reduced bearings to whole circle bearings:
N.36°16'E; (b) S.28° 14' E. (c) S.47°26'W and (d) N.58°24'W
Question 3.
A road at a constant RL of 180.00 runs North to South. The ground East to West is level. The surface levels along the centre line of the road are as follows:
Chainage in meter:
0 30 60 90 120 150 180
Level in meter:
183.50 182.45 182.15 181.55 180.95 182.05 180.80
Compute the volume of cutting, given that the width at formation level is 8 m and the side slopes 1 1/2 to 1. The centre depths of the cutting at 30 m intervals may be determined by subtracting the formation from the respective ground levels.
Question 4.
