The deflection angle s of the two intermediate points R and S on the curve measured from the tangent passing through the PC are 6° 15' and 12° 15', respectively. The chord distance between R and S is 20m (Standard in metric system) while the long chord is 100m long. Compute: 1. the radius of the curve 2. the angle of intersection of the simple curve 3. the tangent distance
