Question

Transcribed Image Text:### Slope Staking Notes Calculation
To find X2, refer to the given set of slope staking notes:
#### Basis Values:
- Basis for Cut: 48 ft
- Basis for Fill: 40 ft
- Cutslope: s = 2.5:1
#### Slope Stakes Data:
| Station (Sta.) | Left (L) | Center (C) | Right (R) |
| -------------- | ------- | ---------- | --------- |
| 5100 | C X1 | C 5.5 | C 3.2 |
| | 33.4 | | X2 |
| 5000 | F 5.4 | F 0 | C 4.1 |
| | 33.6 | | 34.25 |
| 4900 | F 6.4 | F 3.5 | F 0 |
| | 36.0 | | 20 |
#### Choices for X2:
- None of these.
- 28.8
- 23.2
- 32.0
- 28.0
### Calculation Steps:
To find X2, use the given staking notes and the basis values provided. The following steps are usually required:
1. Identify the values for Stations 5100, 5000, and 4900.
2. Use the cuts and fills along with the cutslope to solve for unknowns.
*Note: The detailed calculations can be done based on geometric transformations and the slope calculations specific to civil engineering principles based on the provided staking notes.*
### Graphical Representation:
**There are no graphs or diagrams provided within the text.** The table organizes the staking notes for different stations (Sta.) and the key points at Left (L), Center (C), and Right (R) for each station.
### Answer Selection:
After performing the necessary calculations, users can select from the provided choices to identify X2. If the calculated X2 does not match any of the given options, "None of these" should be selected.
By working through each staking note and performing the necessary calculations, you can determine the exact value of X2 suitable for the slope staking requirements.
