3. The diameter of the funnel of a rain-gauge is 4-7 in.; wliat 
quantity of water collected by the funnel would indicate a rain-fall of 
one -tenth of an inch 1 
4. A heap of gravel is made in the usual way on level ground ; 
its base is 40 ft. long by 30 ft. wide ; its height is 4 ft. ; the slope 
of the sides is 4 vertical to 5 horizontal ; how many cubic yards of 
gravel are there in the heap ? 
5. If a map were drawn to a scale of 25 in. to a mile, what 
number of square yards on the ground would be represented by a 
square inch on the map 1 But if the representative fraction of the 
scale were ^V^, what number of square yards would now be repre- 
sented by a square inch ? 
6. On opposite sides of a stream, whose general direction is from 
west to east, points A and B are taken 1"64 apart ; on the south 
side, at right angles to A B, points A, C, D are taken 
in a straight line, A C = 12*55, C D = 5"27 ; a point 
E is taken north of C D, such that C E = 6-14, D E 
= 4'64. The south side runs nearly along A C, C E 
as shown in No. 1. On the north side of the stream 
a point F is fixed by the angles F C D = 62°, F D C 
= 72° ; the north side is then determined by No. 2. 
All the distances ai-e in chains. 
Draw a plan of this portion of the stream, on a 
scale of one inch to two chains. 
7. After having drawn the plan in Q. G, state any 
other way that occurs to you of laying down a plan of 
that portion of the stream, and mention Ijriefly the 
advantages of the method you propose. 
8. Points A, B, &c., are taken along a road, the 
horizontal distances in chains being as follows : — 
A B = 6-6, B C = 14-4, C D = D E = 5, E F = 7-G ; 
the heights in feet of the points A, B, &c., above the 
datum line are 95-8, 86-4, 68-7, 67-0, 70-8, 85-2. 
Draw a section of the road, distances to a scale of 
1 in. equal to 4 chains, lieights 1 in. equal to 10 ft. 
If tlie level is placed between A and B, and the 
staff held at A reads 2'67 ; what will it read when 
held at B ? 
9. A B C is a ti-iangle, A B = 8G'15 cliains, A C = Gl-4r) chains ; 
B bears 21° 20' S. of W. from A, C bears 43° 18' N of W. from A ; 
llnd, both by construction and calculation, the area of the triangle 
A B 0, and tlio bearing of C from B.
