Question
Two parallel tangents have directions of due east and are 200 m, apart, are connected by a reversed curve having an
equal radius of 800 m. The P.C. of the curve is on the upper tangent while the PT. is at the lower tangent. If the
horizontal distance parallel to the tangent from the PC to the PT of the reversed curve is 800 m.
a. Compute the distance of the intermediate tangent between the curves.
b. Compute the distance between the centers of the reversed curve.
c. Compute the stationing of PT. if sta: of the P. C. is 10 +020.40.
