The two converging tangents of a reverse curve intersect at 35⁰. This point of intersection is 150 m away from the vertex of the second curve. The azimuth of the common tangent is 320⁰ and it has a 20⁰R deflection angle from the back tangent of the first curve. The degree of the second curve is 6⁰ and the stationing of the common tangent point is 4+540. Determine the following: The length of the common tangent Radius of the second curve Radius of the first curve Stationing of the beginning of the curve Stationing of the end of the curve

  1. The two converging tangents of a reverse curve intersect at 35⁰. This point of intersection is 150 m away from the vertex of the second curve. The azimuth of the common tangent is 320⁰ and it has a 20⁰R deflection angle from the back tangent of the first curve. The degree of the second curve is 6⁰ and the stationing of the common tangent point is 4+540.

Determine the following:

The length of the common tangent

Radius of the second curve

Radius of the first curve

Stationing of the beginning of the curve

Stationing of the end of the curve
