The most common vertical curve used in highway alignments has the shape of a …

An incoming grade of +3.00% meets an exiting grade of -1.05% at a PVI having station 18+00.00 and elevation 75.00’. A perpendicular street crosses at station 19+50.00 and elevation 72.50’. What is the length (in feet) of vertical curve required to match elevations at the intersection?

Please type here your computations for Question 4.  Also, please type in the computation checks required for the question. Your score for the previous question depends on your detailed work presented in this question. 

The azimuth of the tangent from the BP to PI1 is 314°00’00”. The deflection angle at PI1 to PI2 is 52°30’00” to the left. What is the azimuth of the tangent from PI1 to PI2?

Which of the following correctly describes the developable surface used in a Lambert Conformal Conic map projection?

Part 1 CONTINUED…QUESTION 3: The figure below shows the center line of the right-of-way for the pipeline LM and a circular property line. The radius of the circular property line is 750.00m and the azimuth of the line LM is 104o 30’ 24”. The (X,Y) coordinates of points M and C (expressed in meters) are (2249.92, 2640.67) and (2561.05, 2110.45), respectively. P is the point of intersection between the circular property line and the pipeline segment LM. Compute the azimuth of the line connecting the property line center C and the intersection point (P) (i.e. the line CP).  The azimuth of the line CP is [blank1] deg [blank2] min [blank3] sec (round to the closest second)

What is the most important consideration in survey design when one is trying to obtain a high response rate?

A line MN, has a departure of 250.00’ and a latitude of -725.00’. What is the azimuth of MN?

An incoming grade of 3.50% meets an exiting grade of -1.00% at a PVI having station = 25+00.00 and an elevation of 97.50’. If a 750’ vertical curve is used, what is the elevation of the curve at 23+00?

The research question was, “For which users, does one of the two training modules result in a shorter learning curve?” What type of research was the researcher conducting?
