1 Simplecurve Problems

This document contains information about several simple curve problems: 1) A curve with a radius of 290 + 0.55*SN m and a PC-PT distance of 220 + SN. It asks to calculate the central angle, distance from the midpoint of the long chord to the curve midpoint, and the area outside the curve. 2) A curve with a central angle of 30+SN degrees and degree of curve of 6 degrees. It asks to calculate the nearest distance from the curve midpoint to the tangent intersection point and the distance from the long chord midpoint to the curve midpoint. 3) Another curve problem asking for the long chord, stationing of a point on the curve at a 54 degree angle from
