Question

The deflection angle s of the two intermediate points R and S on the curve measured from the tangent passing through the PC are 6o 15' and 12o 15', respectively. The chord distance between R and S is 20m (Standard in metric system) while the long chord is 100m long.

Compute:

  1. the radius of the curve
  2. the angle of intersection of the simple curve
  3. the tangent distance
