2. On a rail road line, two tangents that intersect at station 10 + 243 so as to form an angle of 36°28' are to be connected by a compound curve consisting of two simple curves. The simple curve beginning at the P.C. which is at station 10 + 163 is to be 4° curve whose degree is based on a 20m chord and is to have a central angle of 17°. Using chord basis: a. What should be the radius of the other simple curve that ends at the P.T.? b. Compute the stationing of P.C.C.
