A. Problem 1
Two converging tangents have azimuth of 300° and 90° respectively, while the
of the common tangent is 320°. The distance from the point of intersection of the
tangents to the P.I. of the 2nd curve is 100m. while the stationing of P.I. of the first
curve is 10+432.24. If the radius of the first curve is 285.4m.
A.) Determine the radius of the 2nd curve.
B.) Determine the stationing of P.R.C.
C.) Determine the stationing of P.T.
