Radius given Approximate Equation for Offset Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Radius of Curve = Distance x^2/(Offset at x*2)
R = x^2/(O_x*2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Radius of Curve - (Measured in Meter) - Radius of Curve is the radius of a circle whose part, say, the 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.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Distance x: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required
Offset at x: 1.9 Meter --> 1.9 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula
