Two parallel tangents have directions of due east and are 200 m. apart, are connected by a reverse curve having equal radius of 800 m. The P.C. of the curve is on the upper tangent while the P.T. is at the lower tangent. If the horizontal distance parallel to the tangent from the P.C. to the P.T. of the reverse curve is 800 m. a. Compute the distance of the intermediate tangent between the curves. b. Compute the distance between the centers of the reversed curve. c. Compute the stationing of P.T. if sta. of the P.C. is 10 + 020.40.
