The long chord of a compound curve is 120 m. Iong which makes and angle of 14° from the tangent of the first curve passing through the P.C. and 20° from the tangent of the second curve passing through the P.T. If the common tangent is parallel to the long chord. Compute the length of chord from PCC to P.T.
