Problem No. 2:
Two tangents making an angle of 62° from each other is connected by a simple curve. A point “x” on the curve is located by a distance along the tangent from the P.C. equal to 240 m and an offset from the tangent equal to 60 m. The P.C. is at station 10 + 080.
a. Compute the radius of the curve.
b. Compute the tangent distance of the curve. c. Compute the stationing of point “x” on the curve.
Problem No. 3:
