Two intersecting tangents have azimuths 203°45' and 229°57' respectively. The stationing of the vertex and the point of curvature P.C. are respectively 11 + 110.71 and 11 +025.32. (a) If the external distance of this curved were decreased by 5 meters, what would be the change in the direction of the second tangent with the first tangent line remaining in the same direction in order that the degree of curve does not change in deg-min-sec.? (b) Determine the azimuth of the new forward tangent in deg-min-sec. (c) Compute the stationing of new P.T.
