(25 points) As a junior roadway engineer, you have been asked to
contribute to the design of a section of roadway that runs through
a national park. An endangered deer population has been identified
in the area and a wildlife underpass under a vertical curve has
been proposed, as shown in the figure below. An existing underpass
is perpendicular to the roadway at station 20+91.00 (not
necessarily under the center of the curve). The top of the
