Negative Grade Angle Given Sight Distance Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Negative Grade Angle = The Height of The Obstruction/(Sight Distance-Length of Curve/2-Driver Sight Height/Positive Grade Angle)
n₂ = h₂/(S-L_s/2-h₁/n₁)
This formula uses 6 Variables

Variables Used

Negative Grade Angle - A negative grade angle indicates an incline slope.
The Height of The Obstruction - (Measured in Meter) - The Height of The Obstruction refers to its vertical dimension, blocking a line of sight or path, often in transportation, construction or safety.
Sight Distance - (Measured in Meter) - Sight Distance is s the minimum distance between two vehicles moving along a curve, when the driver of one vehicle can just see the other vehicle on the road.
Length of Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Curve is the distance along the road where the alignment changes from upward to downward slope, creating a valley-shaped concave.
Driver Sight Height - (Measured in Meter) - Driver Sight Height refers to the vertical distance between the driver's eye level and the road surface while seated in a vehicle.
Positive Grade Angle - (Measured in Radian) - A positive grade angle indicates an upward slope.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

The Height of The Obstruction: 0.36 Meter --> 0.36 Meter No Conversion Required
Sight Distance: 3.56 Meter --> 3.56 Meter No Conversion Required
Length of Curve: 7 Meter --> 7 Meter No Conversion Required
Driver Sight Height: 0.75 Meter --> 0.75 Meter No Conversion Required
Positive Grade Angle: 45 Degree --> 0.785398163397301 Radian (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

n₂ = h₂/(S-L_s/2-h₁/n₁) --> 0.36/(3.56-7/2-0.75/0.785398163397301)

Evaluating ... ...

n₂ = -0.402266252503758

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-0.402266252503758 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-0.402266252503758 ≈ -0.402266 <-- Negative Grade Angle
