Question: A crest vertical curve connects a + 4 % grade with a - 2 % grade. The BVC is located at station 2 1 4

A crest vertical curve connects a +4% grade with a -2% grade. The BVC is located at station 214+94 and is at an elevation of 646ft. Given a design speed of 50mph, determine:
The length of the curve, L(round to nearest foot).
The station of the EVC
The elevation of the PVI (round to 1 decimal place)
