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.(10 marks) 4 (a) What is contour? Explain the different characteristics of contour also explain different methods of interpolating contours along with suitability of each one of them.(7 marks) 4 (b) The length of tracing arm of a planimeter is 15.92 cm. The distance from the hinge to the anchor point is 16.0 cm. The diameter of the rim of the wheel is 2 cm. The wheel is placed outside at a distance of 3.0 cm from the hinge. Calculate area corresponding to revolution of the wheel and the area of zero circle.(7 marks) 4 (c) The following perpendicular offsets were taken from a chain line to an irregular boundary. Calculate the area using Trapezoidal and Simpson's rule.
