Situation 1-A simple curve has a central angle of 36° and a degree of curve of 6° 1. Find the nearest distance from the midpoint of the curve to the point of intersection of the tangents. 2. Compute the distance from the midpoint of the curve to the midpoint of the long chord joining the point of curvature and point of tangency. 3. If the stationing of the point of curvature is at 10+020, compute the stationing of a point on the curve which intersects with the line making a deflection angle of 8° with the tangent through the P.C.

Situation 1-A simple curve has a central angle of 36° and a degree of curve of 6°
1. Find the nearest distance from the midpoint of the curve to the point of intersection of the
tangents.
2. Compute the distance from the midpoint of the curve to the midpoint of the long chord joining
the point of curvature and point of tangency.
3. If the stationing of the point of curvature is at 10+020, compute the stationing of a point on
the curve which intersects with the line making a deflection angle of 8° with the tangent
through the P.C.
Situation 2-The perpendicular offset distance from point A on a simple curve to Q on the tangent line is 64m.
If the distance from the P.C. to Q on the tangent is 260m.
4. Compute the radius of the simple curve.
5. Compute the length of curvature from P.C. to A.
6. If the angle of intersection of the curve is 64°, compute the length of long chord from P.C. to
P.T.
