Compute the minimum length of curve for Problem 25.6. (Assume h1 = 3.50 ft and h2 = 2 ft.), assume 50 mph.   Problem 25.6 is: Tabulate station elevations for an equal-tangent parabolic vertical curve with the characteristics: a 455-ft curve, grades of g1 = +2.00% and g2 = -1.50%, VPI at station 78 + 60 and elevation 7855.35 ft, stakeout at total stations. Calculate the station and elevation at the high point of the curve.
