Surveying miscellaneous

  1. Two straight lines intersect at an angle of 60°. The radius of a curve joining the two straight lines is 600 m. The length of long chord and mid-ordinates in metres of the curve are
    1. 8.4, 600.0
    2. 600.0, 80.4
    3. 600.0, 39.89
    4. 40, 89, 300
Correct Option: B

Length of long chord = 2R sin
θ
= 2 × 600 × sin 50 = 600 m
2


Length of mid ordinate = L1 - cos
θ
2

= 600 (1 – cos 30°) = 80.38 m
