Can you please help me with this homework problem I can’t seem to understand it and it’s not a quiz or exam question it’s strictly homework. I would like a step by step process. An equal - Tangent vertical conne is to be constructed between grades -4% (inital) and + 6% (final) The vertical curve is 1200ft long and the Pvt is at Station 2500 +00 and at elevation 400ft. Determine the elevation and stationing of the low point.
