Please type here your computations for Question 1. Your score for the previous question depends on your detailed work presented in this question. 

A horizontal circular curve of radius of 2900.00’ joins two tangents that meet at a deflection angle of 19o00’00”. The PC station is 25+65.84. What is the deflection angle from the PC to station 33+00.00, needed to compute coordinates of that station (as explained in lecture)?

A vehicle is traveling on a curve with a radius of 1900 feet at a superelevation, e = 0.06. What would be the velocity required to generate a side friction factor of -0.03?

Which of the following measures of central tendency is most affected by extreme values?

What is the full length of a superelevation transition with d = 200 (1:d slope), e = 0.07, and two 12 foot lanes at a 2.5% crown slope?

A contractor excavates and hauls 1275 CY of material a total (average) distance of 21 stations, with a FHD of 13 stations. If excavation cost is $16/CY and overhaul charge is $1.25/sta-yard, what is the total cost for this operation?

Station 12+00 is a fill section with a cross section area of 750 ft2. Station 13+00 is a sidehill section with a cross section area of cut equal to 95ft2 and fill of 125 ft2. Station 14+00 is a cut section with a cross section area of 825 ft2. At what station(to the nearest station foot) is the cut section expected to taper down to zero?
