A simple curve has a central angle of 60°. The stationing of the point of curvature is equal to 5 + 900. The offset distance from the station PT to the tangent line passing thru the PC is 108 meter long. Determine: a) the stationing of a point A on the curve if it forms a deflection angle from the tangent at PC equal to 20°.
