4. There is a vertical curve. The grade into the curve +3.2% and the grade out of the curve is -2.8%. If the design speed is 40 mph, calculate the minimum required length for the vertical curve based on stopping sight distance (Hint: Find the stopping sight distance for the design speed of 40 mph first and then use formula in the textbook to calculate minimum length for the vertical curve).
