Answer:
The lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.
Explanation:
Length of curve is given as

is given as

The K value is given from the table 3.3 for 55 mi/hr is 115. So the value of A is given as

A is given as

With initial grade, the elevation of PVC is

The station is given as

Low point is given as

The station of low point is given as

The elevation is given as

So the lowest point of the curve is at 239+42.5 ft where elevation is 124.16 ft.
Explanation:
He would work on the thing like in the method you work on your question.
Answer:
The second classmate is right.
Explanation:
The height of first summit provides the potential energy it will use to climb the following ones.
Ep = m * g * h
Where
m: mass
g: acceleration of gravity
h: height
When the train goes downwards the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (manifested as speed) and when it climbs it consumes its kinetical energy. As long as no summit is taller than the first the train should have enough energy to climb them.
Also it must be noted that friction also consumes energy, and if the track is too lomg all the energy might be consumed by it.
it would be a bc its a sqare?well 3d is like you can say a cube 2d is like flat
