Two tangents converge at angle of 30o. The direction of the second tangent is due east. The distance of the PC from the second tangent is 116.50m. The bearing of the common tangent is S 40o E. a. Compute the central angle of the first curve. b. If a reversed curve is to connect these two tangents, determine the common radius of the curve. c. Compute the stationing of the PT if PC is at station 10+260.
