Hello All,

I have a problem in solve a simple curve problem. Here is the problem..

Two tangents intersect at a chainage of 1000 m, the deflection angle being 36°.The length of the long chord is 133.52 m and the chainage of T2 is 2065.61m. Find the Chainage of T1 and Radius of curve.

Now the point is that when I try to find T1 by this formula:

T1 = Total Chainage - Tangent Length.

Tangent Length found to be 70.2m and Radius = 216.04m , therefore

T1 = 1000 - 70.2 = 929.8m

But But when I try to verify my result using length of curve formula

length of curve = 135.47

So T1 = T2 - length of curve

T1 = 2065.61 - 135.4 = 1929.08
So the difference is about 1000m which is the total chainage. Some one told me that it has to do with dependency. Please anyone help me in solving this problem. May be my Radius is not correct. Some one please help me. Thank you in advance..

Hi, blue_bird,
I understand that you are going to conduct a survey to analyse how many people are able to solve this problem.
So you have to make sure that you reach the correct sample population.
Are you going to ask total population, or only a specific part like High School or College graduates.
Will it be an open survey or do you use tokens?

But nevertheless: the usual first question is: Which version of LimeSurvey are you using?

Best regards
