1. A common tangent AB of a compound curve makes an angle with the tangents of 26° and 38°
respectively. The degree of curve of the first curve is 5°30' while that of the second curve is
3°30'. The stationing of the Pl is at 12+434.63. If it is desired to substitute a simple curve that
shall be tangent of the two tangent lines s well as the common tangent. Determine the following:
(a) Radius of the new simple curve, and (b) The stationing of the new PC and PT.
