Two parallel tangents have
directions of due east and
are 200m. apart, are
connected by a reversed
curve having equal radius of
800m. The P.C. of the curve
is on the upper tangent
while the P.T. is at the lower
tangent. If the horizontal
distance parallel to the
tangent from the P.C. to the
P.T. of the reversed curve is
800m.
a) Compute the distance of
the intermediate tangent
between the curves
b) Compute the distance
between the centers of the
reversed curves
c) Compute the stationing
of P.T. is sta. of the P.C. is
10+020.
