QUESTION 1 Two tangents making an angle of 62° from each other is connected by a simple curve. A point "x" on the curve has an offset distance of 60 m from the back tangent and is located by a distance along the back tangent from the PC equal to 240 m. The PC is at station 10+080. a. Compute the radius of the curve Answer: R= 28.167 m b. Compute the tangent distance of the curve. Answer: T= 16.924 m c. Compute the stationing of point "x" on the curve. Answer: Sta "x"= 10plus320.000 Note: Unit has been provided after the blank space. No need to indicate units on your answer.
