On a railroad line, two tangents that intersects at station 10+234 so as to form an angle of 36°28' are to be connected by a compound curve consisting of two simple curves. The simple curve beginning at the PC which is at station 10+136 is to be 4° curve whose degree is based on a 20-m arc and is to have a central angle of 17°. Using arc basis. a. Determine the radius of the other simple curve that ends at the PT. b. Compute the stationing of the PCC. c. Determine the length of the tangent from Pl to the PT of the compound curve. (Round off your final answers to three decimal places).
