Highway Engineering Quiz 7 2a

This document appears to be a highway engineering exam containing problems about vertical curves. The exam asks students to solve 3 problems: 1) calculating length of passing sight distance, stationing of highest point, and elevation of highest point for a vertical summit curve; 2) computing maximum speed for a car on a vertical parabolic sag curve given the grades and sight distance; and 3) determining curve length and deflection angle for a horizontal curve. Students are to show their work and box their final answers.
