Degree of Curve for given Length of Curve Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Degree of Curve = (100*Central Angle of Curve)/Length of Curve
D = (100*I)/L_c
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Degree of Curve - (Measured in Radian) - Degree of Curve can be described as the angle of the road curve.
Central Angle of Curve - (Measured in Radian) - Central angle of curve can be described as the deflection angle between tangents at point of intersection of tangents.
Length of Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Length of curve is defined as the arc length in a parabolic curves.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Central Angle of Curve: 40 Degree --> 0.698131700797601 Radian (Check conversion here)
Length of Curve: 140 Meter --> 140 Meter No Conversion Required
