Concept explainers
A civil engineer needs to establish the elevation of the cornerstone for a building located between Iwo benchmarks, B1 and B2, of known elevations, as shown in
The elevation E along the grade satisfies the linear relationship
(a) Find the equation of the line E and determine the slope of the linear relationship.
(b) Using the equation of the line from part (a), find the elevation of the cornerstone E* if it is located at a distance
(c) Sketch the graph of £ as a function of l and clearly indicate both the slope in and elevation
