An unsymmetrical parabolic curve has a back tangent of 7% and a forward tangent of -4% intersecting at sta. 5 +060. The length of the curve on the side of back tangent is 60 m while that on the right side of the forward tangent is 40 m long. Compute the stationing of the summit. Compute the grid distance if the grid factor is 0.9988.

Compute the grade distance

An unsymmetrical parabolic curve has
a back tangent of 7% and a forward
tangent of -4% intersecting at sta. 5
+060. The length of the curve on the
side of back tangent is 60 m while
that on the right side of the forward
tangent is 40 m long. Compute the
stationing of the summit.
Compute the grid distance if the grid
factor is 0.9988.
