Question
Transcribed Image Text:Three simple curves are connected to each other such that the fırst and the second
form a compound curve. While the second and the third form a reversed curve. The
distance between the point of curvature and the point of tangency of the compound
curve (which is also the point of reversed curvature of the reversed curve is 500 m. If
the angle of convergence between the second and the third tangents is 16°, I, = 47°.
R1 =200 meters, I2 = 65°, R3 =160 m, and stationing at PC is 5+600. Hint: sine law.
determine the stationing at PT at the end of the long chord.
Answer for part A should be in this Format: x+xx.xXxx (FOUR DECIMAL PLACES i.e.
0+123.4567)
determine the angle between the long chord of the compound
curve and the first
tangent. Answer in four decimal places (i.e. 12.3456)
