 Engineering Curves

Q1. What are conic sections and why are they called so? 
Ans.  Ellipse, parabola and hyperbola are called conic sections because these curves appear on
the surface of the cone when it is cut by some typical cutting planes.

Q2. Define Ellipse?

Ans:
 It is the locus of a point moving in a plane in such a way that the ratio of its distance from a
fixed point to its distance from a fixed line always remains constant and is less than one.
It is the locus of a point moving in a plane in such a way that the sum of its distance from
two fixed points ( called foci ) always remains constant and is equal to the major axis of the
ellipse.

Q3.Name the Method to draw an ellipse?

Ans

General method 
Arc of the circle method 
Rectangle method 
Concentric Circle Method

Q4. Define Parabola? 

Ans. It is the locus of a point moving in a plane is such a way that the ratio of its distance from a
fixed point is always equal to its distance from a fixed line. In other word its eccentricity is equal
to one.

Q5. Name the Method to draw a Parabola ?

Ans

1. General method 
2. Rectangle method 
3. Tangent or Triangle Method

Q6. Define hyperbola?

Ans

It is the locus of a point moving in a plane is such a way that the ratio of its distance from a
fixed point to its distance from a fixed line always remains constant and is greater than one.
 It is the locus of a point moving in a plane is such a way that the sum of its distance from
two fixed points ( called foci ) always remains constant and is equal to the transverse axis of
the hyperbola.

Q7. Name the Method to draw a Hyperbola?

Ans

1. General method 
2. Arc of the circle method 
3. Orthogonal asymptotes method 

Q8. What is the significance of normal and tangent on a curve?

Ans. When force is applied on any point of the curve, we are more concerned with its two
components, perpendicular to the curve and along the curve. That’s why we are interested in 
normal and tangent of the curve.

Q9. Define Cycloid ?

Ans. It is a locus of a point on the circumference of the circle , which rolls on a straight line  ,
without slipping 

Q10. What are Cycloidal Curves? 

Ans. 

It is a locus of a point on the circumference of the circle, which rolls on a straight line or a
curved path, without slipping. 
The straight line is called the directing line and the circle is called a rolling or generating
circle.

Q11. What is the application of Cycloidal Curves? 

Ans. Cycloidal Curves are used in gear teeth profiles.

Q12. What are the applications of conic sections? 

Ans.

Ellipse: is used in concrete arches, stone bridges, dams, monuments, manholes, glands,
stuffing boxes, etc.
Parabola: many bridges use parabolic supports like Howrah bridge, golden gate Bridge. It is
also used in reflectors of torches and headlamps. It is also used in giant mirrors , reflecting
telescopes and antennas to collect the light and radio signal from outer space and focus
them at the focal point.
Hyperbola: is used in water channels, cooling towers, skew gears, hyperbolic reflectors are
used in long-range navigations.
