Offset at Distance x from Mid-Point Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Offset at x = sqrt(Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate^2-Distance x^2)-(Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate-Mid Ordinate)
O_x = sqrt(R_{Mid Ordinate}^2-x^2)-(R_{Mid Ordinate}-L_mo)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Offset at x - (Measured in Meter) - Offset at x is the length of offset drawn at a distance x from midpoint for setting out the curve.
Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate is the radius of a circle whose part, say, arc is taken for consideration.
Distance x - (Measured in Meter) - Distance x is the length from midpoint to a point anywhere in long chord where offset need to be drawn for setting out the curve.
Mid Ordinate - (Measured in Meter) - Mid Ordinate is the distance from midpoint of curve to midpoint of chord.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Radius of Curve for Mid Ordinate: 40 Meter --> 40 Meter No Conversion Required
