A hydrographic survey was conducted on a reservoir to determine its capacity by contour method. The depth of water at sounding point P1 was 10.50m and its elevation at the bottom was computed to be 210.30m. A sounding point P2 at a distance of 35.45m from P1 was observed to have a depth of 3.25m and its elevation at the bottom was determined to be 217.55m. If a subaqueous contour is to be drawn between P1 and P2 with a contour interval 0.50m, how many contours that can be drawn? Select the correct response: 9 15 10 17

This solution is incorrect because the computation for the Volume is wrong. Please give a more detailed solution and correct answer to this problem. An earth dam shown is required to have an effective unit weight of 12.079 kN/m3. The suitable material for the dam was identified available from the two borrow sites in the vicinity of the proposed dam. Borrow site A has dry unit weight of 17.875 kN/m3 and was observed to have free swell of 18.975%.

Volume of the soil solids per meter length of the dam, m3. b. Cost per meter length of the dam if borrow site A was chosen at cost of P264.855 per cubic meter. c.
