The ground line slopes uniformly at -5.5% from station 40 + 310, which has a center height of 4.50 m cut, to station 40 + 390, which has a center height of 2.60 m fill. Assuming both sections to be level sections with side slopes 1.5:1 for fill and 2:1 for cut. Will the volume between these sections be borrowed or wasted if the roadway for fill is 10 m and for cut is 9 m? Show your centerline profile.
