(29 This problem may be further modified by assuming that theradius of the curve is decreased rather than increased, or thatthe smaller radius follows the larger. The solution is similarand is suggested as a profitable exercise. It might also be assumed that, instead of making a givenchange in the radius Ro, a given change BB^ is to be made, ijand R2 are required. Eliminate R2 from Eqs. 28 and 29and solve the resulting equation for ^2- Then determine 7?2by a suitable inversion of either Eq. 28 or 29. As in §§32 and 33, the above problems are but a few, althoughperhaps the most common, of the problems the engineer maymeet with in coiTipound curves
