L = 2x(NV3/c)"0.5.
L = 2*((0.05 * 27.78 * 27.78 * 27.78)/0.6)"0.5.
L = 84.53m.

For c = 0.6
L=0.38√(NV^3)
Where v is in kmph.

So, here;
L = 0.38*(5*1000000)^0.5.

Here N = 0.03+0.02 = 0.05.

L = 0.38(NV^3)^0.5.

L = 84.76MTS APPROX.

Length is 84.16 means, then what s the answer? option A or option C.

Both the gradients are positive so it should be subtracted right?

Lenth of valley curve for comfort condition is 2(Nv^3/c)^0.5.

N=|-3-2|=5,
L=2* {(Nv^3)/C},
=2* 5*(100/3.6)/0.6,
= 84.57.

L = 0.378(NV3)^1/2.
= 0.378(.05*100*100*100)^.5.
= 86.4 m.

L = (A*V^2)/1300a,
L = (5 * 100^2)/1300 * 0.6,
L = 64.1m.

I don't understand well if N is load or if is median.
