Question

1) What is the gradient along the same stretch of the stream in section 21 of the Richardson Springs quadrangle? _______________ft/mi. Assume the distance is 3/8th an inch on the map.
2) What is the percent slope of the stream in Section 30 of the Richardson Springs Quadrangle from where it crosses the 600’ contour to where it crosses the 500’ contour? _____________%
3)What is the gradient along the same stretch of the stream in section 30 of the Richardson Springs quadrangle? _______________ft/mi.

Explanation / Answer

1) a gradient can be defined as the it is the ratio of the slop distance to the actuak distance of the slop. this means that the what is the slop of that region to the distance covered by that slope.

now here we need to find the gradient of the section 21.

the slop distance is given as 900 and the actual total distance which the slope is covered is 1300. so the gradient will be= 900/1300= 0.697 ft/mi.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2) the percentage of the slope in the section 30 is given by the gradient*100

so it will be from counter 600 to 500 cross section= [(600-500)/1000]*100= 10%

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3) the gradient of the section 30 is given by=(500/1000)=0.5 ft/mi
