Question 1:
The volume of a 18 m2 pond is being monitored for the first three month of the year. The observation
data in shown in the Table below. If the storage at the beginning of January is 60 m3, determine
the storage at the end of March.
Isipadu sebuah kolam berkeluasan 18 m2 dicerap bagi tiga bulan pertama pada suatu tahun. Data
pemerhatian tersebut ditunjukkan dalam Jadual di bawah. Sekiranya pada awal Januari isipadu kolam
tersebut adalah 60 m3, kirakan isipadu kolam pada hujung Mac.

Question 2:
Rain gauge at station D was inoperative for part of a month during which a storm occured. The storm
rainfall recorded at the three surrounding stations A, B and C was 8.5, 6.7 and 9.0 cm, respectively. If the
average annual rainfall for the stations A, B, C and D are 75, 84, 70 and 90 cm, respectively, estimate the
storm rainfall at station D.
Tolok hujan di stesen D telah tidak berfungsi pada sebahagian bulan di mana satu kejadian hujan telah
berlaku. Tiga tolok hujan di sekitar stesen D iaitu stesen A, B dan C telah memberi bacaan hujan masing-
masing 8.5, 6.7 dan 9.0 cm. Sekiranya purata hujan tahunan bagi stesen-stesen tersebut A, B, C dan D
adalah masing-masing 75, 84, 70 dan 90 cm, anggarkan jumlah hujan di stesen D pada kejadian hujan
tersebut.

Question 3:
The stream discharges for various stages at a particular section were observed and the record is shown
in the Table below. Obtain an equation for the stage-discharge relationship. The relation between the
stage (H) and discharge (Q) of the stream can be assumed of the form Q = K (H – 1.8)n. Determine the
values of K and n.
Rekod data aliran dan ukurdalam pada suatu keratan sungai ditunjukkan dalam Jadual di bawah.
