Grade Compensation formula 1 Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Percent Grade = (30+Radius of Circular Curve)/Radius of Circular Curve
s = (30+R_c)/R_c
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Percent Grade - Percent Grade refers to the tangent of the angle of that surface to the horizontal.
Radius of Circular Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Circular Curve is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Radius of Circular Curve: 130 Meter --> 130 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s = (30+R_c)/R_c --> (30+130)/130

Evaluating ... ...

s = 1.23076923076923

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.23076923076923 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.23076923076923 ≈ 1.230769 <-- Percent Grade
