Two tangents intersect at V at station 12+705.84. The angle of intersection is 34°. The stationing of PC is 12+628. Without changing the location of PC and the sharpness of the curve, it is desired to shorten the length of curve by 50 meters. Determine the stationing of the new point of intersection (PI). Determine the new point of tangency (PT).
