(8 marks) 3 (a) Explain Differential levelling & reciprocal levelling.(10 marks) 3 (b) The following consecutive readings were taken with a level and 4.0m Staff on a continuously sloping ground at a common interval of 30 mt 0.780, 1.535, 1.955, 2.430, 2.985, 3.480, 1.155, 1.960, 2.365, 3.640, 0.935, 1.045, 1.630 and 2.545.
The RL of first point A was 180.75 m. Rule out a page of level book & enter above readings. Calculate the RL of all the points by Rise & Fall Method. Also calculate the gradient of the line joining the first & last point.
