FUNDAMENTALS OF SURVEYING

The left and right water edges of a river are 2.75m, and 62.45m, respectively, from an initial reference point. Verticals are located at distances of 11.25, 19.25, 26.75, 34.45, 40.95, 46.95 and 54.45m, respectively, from the reference point. The corresponding depths of verticals are 5.0, 9.6, 9.8, 10.0, 10.4, 10.0 and 4.8 meters. Mean velocities in the verticals are 0.16, 0.60, 0.75, 0.92, 0.97, 0.98, and 0.65 m/sec, respectively. Disregarding the end sections;
