Problem 5.6 A trigonometric leveling method was used to measure elevation between different stations. The transit is set at station B which is between stations A and C. The vertical angle observed towards station A is -13'36'52" while at station C is -10'15'19". The horizontal distance between A and B is 1899.72m and from B to C is 2532.41m. The height of instrument is 1.5m above B and the elevation of station A is 241.56m. Considering the effect of curvature and refraction correction, compute the elevation of each station and the difference in their elevation.
