The highway engineer of a certain road construction decided to use a radius of 100 m. in laying out a simple curve having an angle of intersection of 36-20'. The stationing of the vertex is 30 + 375.20 after verifying the actual conditions of the proposed route, it was found out that the P.T. should be moved out in a parallel tangent having a perpendicular distance of 10 meters with the angle of intersection remaining the same while the curve shall have the same P.C. 1. Compute the new tangent distance. 2. Compute the new radius of curve. 3. Compute the stationing of new P.T.
