Problem 2 Solution:

If you are not sure which is the intersection angle:

(1) assume:

2.b) T  R tan(  / 2)  1400  tan(134 / 2)  3298.19 ft


PC  PI  T  (500  00)  (32  98.19)  467  02
R 134    1400
2.c) L    3274.24 ft
180 180
PT  PC  L  ( 467  02)  (32  74.24)  499  76.24

PT < PI = (500 + 00) Unrealistic, the assumption is incorrect

(2) assume:

2.b) T  R  tan(46 / 2)  594.27 ft


PC  PI  T  (500  00)  (5  94.27)  494  05.73

2.c) L  ( / 180) R  ( / 180)  46  1400  1124 ft


PT  PC  L  (494  05.73)  (11  24)  505  29.73
2.e) M  R(1  cos( / 2))  1400(1  cos( 46 / 2))  111 .29 ft
2.f) C  2 R sin( / 2)  2  1400  sin(46 / 2)  1094.05 ft
Right answer.

Problem 3 - Solution

60 2
SSD  1.47(60)(2.5)   546.74 ft
30 (11 .2 / 32.2)  0.01  2
5729.58  546.74  20 
Ms  1  cos( )   120.82 ft
20  200 

Comment on the solution: the Ms is unrealistically large, which implies the curve
given is too large and unrealistic.
