Distance from PVC to Lowest Point on Sag Curve Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Distance from PVC to lowest point on a sag curve = -(Grade at beginning of Curve/Rate of Change of Grade)
Xs = -(GI/Rg)
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Distance from PVC to lowest point on a sag curve - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from PVC to lowest point on a sag curve can be described as the distance in between the beginning of the grade and lowest point on a sag curve.
Grade at beginning of Curve - Grade at beginning of Curve can be described as the grade at the beginning of the parabolic curve.
Rate of Change of Grade - (Measured in Per Meter) - Rate of Change of Grade is a rate that describes how one grade changes in relation to another.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Grade at beginning of Curve: 10 --> No Conversion Required
Rate of Change of Grade: 50.5 Per Meter --> 50.5 Per Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Xs = -(GI/Rg) --> -(10/50.5)
Evaluating ... ...
Xs = -0.198019801980198
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
-0.198019801980198 Meter --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
-0.198019801980198 -0.19802 Meter <-- Distance from PVC to lowest point on a sag curve

7 Parabolic Curves Calculators

Elevation of PVC given Elevation of Lowest Point on Sag Curve
Go Elevation of PVC = Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve+((Grade at beginning of Curve^2)/(2*Rate of Change of Grade))
Elevation of Lowest Point on Sag Curve
Go Elevation of Lowest Point on a Sag Curve = Elevation of PVC-((Grade at beginning of Curve^2)/(2*Rate of Change of Grade))
Length of Curve using Rate of change of Grade in Parabolic Curves
Go Length of Parabolic Curves = (Grade at end of curve-(-Grade at beginning of Curve))/Rate of Change of Grade
Elevation of Point of Vertical Curvature
Go Elevation of PVC = Elevation of PVI-(1/2)*(Length of Parabolic Curves*(-Grade at beginning of Curve))
Elevation of Point of Vertical Intersection
Go Elevation of PVI = Elevation of PVC+(1/2)*(Length of Curve*Grade at beginning of Curve)
Rate of Change of Grade given Distance from PVC to Lowest Point on Sag Curve
Go Rate of Change of Grade = -(Grade at beginning of Curve/Distance from PVC to lowest point on a sag curve)
Distance from PVC to Lowest Point on Sag Curve
Go Distance from PVC to lowest point on a sag curve = -(Grade at beginning of Curve/Rate of Change of Grade)
