Question

A curve having tangents of UV and VW intersects at point V. UV and VW has an azimuth (from south) of 165° and 215° respectively. U is at 10+340.26. The degree of the curve is 4°.

a. What is the length of the long chord UW.

b. What is the tangent distance UV.

c. What is the external distance of the curve?

d. What is the middle ordinate of the curve?

e. A line passes through the center of the curve to the curve itself at point X, then to UV, making an angle of 60°. What is the station of point X.

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.
