1. The following observations are taken in the field with a theodolite, the place of observation being in Victoria::

Apparent altitude of a Canis Minor at culmination, 47° 32'.

Apparent altitude of a Eridani, 28° 14'. Horizontal angle subtended between a Eridani (which is on western portion of its orbit) and a referring lamp, easterly from the star, 32° 12′ 30′′.

Having given that the N.P. distances of the stars are 84° 29′ and 148° 12′ respectively, deter mine the azimuth of the referring lamp from the point of observation.

2. Reduce the traverse shown below and determine the area, the lengths being in links

3. Explain fully the method of determining distances by means of Stadia readings.

(b) How many gallons will it contain when filled to a depth of 9 feet?

4. Determine approximately the weight of a tramway cable 1 inches diameter which is coiled on a cylinder 6 feet long and 2 feet in diameter, the external diameter of the coil being 6 feet.

DRAWING AND QUANTITY SURVEYING. The Board of Examiners.

A circular reservoir is 200 feet internal diameter at the top and 20 feet deep. Its inner slope is 3 to 1 and its bottom level. It is made partly in cutting and partly in embankment, the top of the embankment being 10 feet wide, and the outer slope being 2 to 1. The interior of the reservoir is coated with 2 feet of clay puddle, upon which 9 inches of rough pitching is placed, and the top

and outer slope of the bank is covered with 6 inches of vegetable soil. The natural surface of the ground is 10 feet below the top of the embankment at the centre of the reservoir, and has a transverse slope of 1 in 200.

Make a radial section of this reservoir to a scale of 10 feet to 1 inch, and compute quantities of cutting, bank, puddle, pitching, and soiling.

3. What is meant by isometric and cavalier projection? Illustrate your answer by examples of each kind, and state what you consider to be the special advantages of each system.

4. Carefully delineate a hypocycloid, the rolling circle being 2 and the fixed circle 4 inches diameter.
