Explain how will you overcome the obstacles over river during chaining operation.
A) river across the chain line.
1. Suppose AB is the chain line. Two points C & D are selected on this line on opposite banks of the river.
2. At C a perpendicular CE is erected and bisected at F. A perpendicular is set out at E and a point G is so selected on it that
D,F & G are in The same straight line.
3 From triangles DCF & GEF,
GE=CD
This distance GE is measured and thus the distance CD is obtained indirectly.
