In a certain road construction undertaken by the DPWH, it was decided to connect a forward tangent of +3% and a back tangent of -5% by a 200 m. symmetrical parabolic curve. It was discovered that the grade intersection at 10 + 100 whose elevation is 100 m falls on a rocky section with an outcrop of 2.67 m. directly above the grade intersection. To avoid rock excavation, the project engineer decided to adjust the vertical parabolic curve in such a way that the curve will just clear the rock without altering the position of P.C. and the grade of the tangents. Determine the total length of the new parabolic curve. (Round off your final answer to three decimal places).
