A 5° curve intersects a property line XY at point Y. The back tangent intersects the property line at point X which is 105.27 m from the beginning of the curve. The property line makes an angle of 110°50' with the back tangent. PC is at 2+050. a. What is the length of the curve from PC to the point of intersection of the line from the center of the curve to point X and the curve. b.What is the length of line XY? c. What is the station of point Y on the curve? Draw and plot the curve. Compute all of the necessary elements of the curve. Include the proper units/dimensions and round-off the answers to 3 decimal places.

Question

A 5° curve intersects a property line XY at point Y. The back tangent intersects the property line at point X which is 105.27 m from the beginning of the curve. The property line makes an angle of 110°50' with the back tangent. PC is at 2+050.

a. What is the length of the curve from PC to the point of intersection of the line from the center of the curve to point X and the curve.

b.What is the length of line XY?

c. What is the station of point Y on the curve?

Draw and plot the curve. Compute all of the necessary elements of the curve. Include the proper units/dimensions and round-off the answers to 3 decimal places.
