a topographic map has contour intervals of 1ft and a scale of 1 inch= 20 ft. if two adjacent contours are .25 inches apart, what is the average slope in percent of the ground between the contours?

Constructing a Topographic Map 7.7 Construct a simple topographic map by drawing contour lines. Early topographic maps were constructed by first surveying an area and establishing the elevations at numerous locations. The surveyor then sketched contour lines on the map by estimating their position between the points of known elevation Today, topographic maps are made by computers from radar data or a series of stereoscopic aerial photographs similar to those in Figure 7.2. The data from these images is processed...
ONLY QUESTION THAT NEED ANSWERING IS QUESTION 14 (QUESTION 2 IN THE PAGES) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP! :) Problem Set #2-worth 10pts The topographic map below is from the USGS O'Leary Peak, AZ 7.5" quadrangle map.

The map scale is 1"-300 ft. If the ground sloped 3%, how far apart would 10 ft. contour intervals be on the map and in the field? Show solution don't just fill in the blanks. 3. map Answer Field in. ft.
A map has the scale 1 inch = 2 miles; what is the ratio scale?
CONTOURING Figure 1 is a map of surveyed elevations. The dots represent data points of elevation above sea level, in feet. 6070 6056 6071 1. Draw the topographic contours, using a contour interval of 20 ft. You may choose to mark everv datum between two contours with the same-symbol or color and then group them together as you draw your contours. It is also recommended to use a pencil to draw in contours as even the best of us can...
Exercise : Volcano Shape The purpose of this exercise is to compare the slope of two volcanoes, Hawaii and Mt. St. Helens Hawai: The Hawaiian volcanoes are shield volcanoes, though some cinder cones are present as well. The very low viscosity of mafic/basaltic magma that cools to form the Hawaiian shield volcanoes produces very gentle or shallow slopes. This is a primary characteristic of shield volcanoes. So, let's try to get an impression of just how low the slopes of...
11. Comparing large- and small-scale maps, a 1:25,000 scale map is a scale map compared to a 1:100,000 scale map (1 point) 12. On a map with a scale of 1:24,000, a measured distance of 4.5 inches represents an actual distance of miles (1 point). 13. If a measured distance of 5 inches on a map represents an actual distance of 10 miles, what is the fractional scale of the map (1 point)? 14. Express a fractional scale of 1250,000...
The figure at the bottom of the page shows a plot of a potential map made by a student, but the distance scale is unknown. Lines are drawn at 1 volt intervals.(A) The student determined that the electric field at point x has a magnitude of 100 N/C. How far apart are the adjacent equipotentials? (B) If an electron was placed at point x, how large a force would it experience? (C) In part B, which way would the electron move and...
6. A circular corrugated metal water channel has a slope of 1:800 and a diameter of 6 ft (a) Estimate the normal discharge, in gal/min, when the water depth is 4 ft. (b) For this condition, calculate the average wall shear stress. P 1.94 Slug/ft The geometry of this circular partly full channel is given in the figure shown The angle θ 109.5°-1.911 radians. The area and hydraulic radius are given as: A R2 (0-(Sin 20)/2) Rh (R/2) (1- (Sin...
4. A two story office building has interior columns spaced 25 ft apart in two perpendicular directions. The columns are fixed at the roof, the second floor and the ground floor in both directions. Consider the dead load (4 inch-thick reinforced concrete slab at the roof and 6 inch thick reinforced concrete slab at the floor) as well as appropriate live load. Ignore other dead weight other than shown. Determine the following using A992 steel: (20 points) 1) Dead load...
