Answer: 112 + 19.27

Explanation:

Super elevation is an inward transverse slope provided through out the length of the horizontal curve which ends up serving as a counteract to the centrifugal force and checks tendency of overturning. It changes from infinite radius to radius of a transition curve.

Super curve elevation (e) = 4%

4/100= 0.04

e= V^2/gR

Make R the subject of the formula.

egR= V^2

R= V^2/eg

V= 45mph

=45 × 0.44704m/s

=20.1168m/s

g (force due to gravity) =9.81

Therefore,

R= (20.1168)^2/9.81 × 0.04

= 1031.31m

Tangent Length( T) = PI - PC

Tangent Length= 10875 - 10500

=375m

T= R Tan(I/2)

375= 1031.31 × Tan(I/2)

I= 39.96

Also,

L= πRI/180

= 719.27m

Station PT= Stat PC+ L

10500 + 719.27

=11219.27

=112 + 19.27

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

850.8480103 feet

Explanation:

First you take the diameter and find the circumference, which is (2)(pi)(r) plug in your r which is 26/2= 13 so 2(13)(pi) and multiply taht by 125 after that take your answer and divide by 12which is 850.8480103
