Find the chord length using Rankine’s method with radius of the curve being 43.76m and the tangential angle is 87˚45ꞌ.

Find the chord length using Rankine’s method with radius of the curve being 43.76m and the tangential angle is 87˚45ꞌ. Correct Answer 2.23m

From Rankine’s method, the chord length can be given as δ = 1718.9*C / R. On substitution, we get 87˚45ꞌ = 1718.9*C / 43.76 C = 2.23 m.
