In a railroad layout, the centerlines of two parallel tracks are connected with a reversed curve of unequal radii. The central angle of the first curve is 15.74° and the distance between the parallel tracks is 28.37 m. The stationing of the P.C. is 14 + 920 and the radius of the second curve is 275 m. a. Compute the length of the long chord from the P.C. to P.T. b. Compute the radius of the first curve. c. Compute the stationing of the P.T. d. Draw and label the reversed curves (intersection angle, radius, tangent distance, length of curve, long chord, external distance, middle ornate)
