For a road construction, it is decided to connect a forward tangent of 3% and a back tangent of -5% by a 200m symmetrical parabolic curve. It was discovered that the grade intersection at station 10+100 whose elevation is 100m falls on a rocky section with an outcrop of 2.67m. directly above the grade intersection. To avoid rock excavation, it was agreed to adjust the vertical parabolic curve in such a way that the curve will just clear the rock without altering the position of PC and the grade of the tangents. Determine the total length of the new parabolic curve.
