The Main formula.

L={(g1% -g2%)S^2}/(800 h).
But in this question.
Length of the vertical curve (L)=2l.
And, S=2l.

Then
h = {(g1% -g2%)(2l)^2}/(800 * 2l).
h = {(g1% -g2%)l}/400.

The formula is s(g1% - g2%)/200(√h1 + √h2)^2.
S= minimum sight distance.
g = gradient.
h1 = height of driver.
h2= height of the obstruction.

S = (√h1 +√h2) = 2l.
= 2l(g1% - g2%)/200(2l)^2.
= (g1% - g2%)/400 l.

Can anyone explain it?

@Windy.
Y= (g1+g2)×(L/2)^²/2 × 2L.
= (g1+g2)×L/8

Equation of summit curve:

y = Nx²/2L.
N = (g1 -(-g2)),
x = L/2,
L = 2L.

Height of apex.
Y = [(g1-(-g2))×(L/2)²]/2×2L.
= [(g1+g2)×L]/8.
