b) Stadia readings were taken with a theodolite on a vertical
staff with the telescope inclined at an angle of depression
of 3° 30'. The staff readings were 2.990, 2.055 and 1.120.
The reduced level of the staff station is 100.000m, and
the height of the instrument is 1.40m. What is the reduced
level of the ground at the instrument? Take constants as
100 and zero. 7

4. a) A transition curve is required for a circular curve of 400m
radius, the gauge being 1.5m between rail centre and
maximum super-elevation restricted to 12cm. The
transition to be designed for a velocity such that no lateral
pressure is imposed on the rails and the rate of gain of
the radial acceleration is 30cm/sec3. Calculate the
required length of transition curve and the design speed.
