Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem Statement:**
For a highway curve with \( D_a = 5^\circ 00' \), \( I = 20^\circ 30' \), and PI station = 63 + 25.53 ft, calculate the requested values to lay out the circular curve at full stations (100 ft).
---
**Part D:**
**Objective:** Calculate the middle ordinate \( M \).
**Answer Provided:**
- \( M = 18.29 \, \text{ft} \)
Feedback: Correct answer is shown. Your answer 18.28 ft was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part.
---
**Part E:**
**Objective:** Calculate the external distance \( E \).
**Answer Provided:**
- \( E = 18.58 \, \text{ft} \)
Feedback: Correct answer is shown. Your answer 18.585 ft was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part.
---
**Part F:**
**Objective:** Tabulate stations, deflection angles, and incremental chords to lay out the curve at full stations (100 ft).
- **Instructions:**
- Express angles in degrees to four decimal places.
- Express first station numbers as integers.
- Express second station numbers and chord lengths in feet to two decimal places.
- The PC station should be placed at the bottom of the table.
**Table Structure:**
- Columns: Station, Chord, Defl. Increment, Defl. Angle.
- Example data:
- Chord for first entry: 00.00
- Defl. Increment for first entry: 2.500
This part requires filling out tabulated data for stations along the curve, considering precise calculations in chord length and deflection angles.

Transcribed Image Text:**Part F**
**Instruction:** Tabulate stations, deflection angles, and incremental chords to lay out the curve at full stations (100 ft).
**Guidelines:**
- Express angles in degrees to four decimal places.
- Express first station numbers as integers.
- Second station numbers and chord lengths should be expressed in feet to two decimal places.
- The PC station should be placed at the bottom of the table.
**Table Layout:**
- **Columns:**
- **Station:** Consists of two fields for entry, the first for the integer part and the second for the decimal part (displayed as "+ 00.00").
- **Chord:** Field for entering chord length.
- **Defl. Increment:** Pre-filled with "2.500".
- **Defl. Angle:** Field for entering deflection angle.
- **Rows:**
- Each row provides space for entering data for each station.
- All rows have pre-filled values for "Defl. Increment" set to 2.500.
**Buttons:**
- **Submit:** To submit the completed table.
- **Request Answer:** To request assistance or answers.
**Contextual Information:**
The table is designed for detailed input and calculation of stations, chords, and deflection angles necessary for the engineering layout of a curve, with precision required for each measurement type.
