Question: A vertical curve joins a - 2 . 0 % grade to a + 0 . 5 % grade at VPI Station 1 1 0

A vertical curve joins a -2.0% grade to a +0.5% grade at VPI Station 110+00 and elevation (of VPI) at 69.50 m. The centreline of the roadway must clear an overhead structure located at Station 109+20 by 5.67 m. The elevation of the bottom of the structure is 77.45 m above sea level.
(a) What is the minimum length of vertical curve that can be used?
(b) Determine whether the length of curve in part (a) satisfies MTO guidelines, and, if not what minimum would be appropriate. ANSWER ASAP
