A simple curve has a central angle of 36° and a degree of curve of 6°.
1. Find the nearest distance from the mid point of the curve to the point of intersection of the tangents.

2. Find the distance from the mid point of the curve to the mid points of the long chord joining the point of
curvature and point of tangency.

3. If the stationing of the point of curvature is at 10 + 020, compute the stationing of a point on the curve
which intersects with the line making a deflection angle of 8° with the tangent through the P.C



The deflection angles of two intermediate points R and S on the curve measured from
the tangent passing through PC are 6°15’ and 12°15’, respectively. The chord distance between R and S is
20 m. (1 station). While the long chord is 100 m. long.
7. Compute the radius of the curve.
8. Compute the angle of intersection of the simple curve.
9. Compute the external distance of the curve.
