1. One focus of an ellipse is at a distance of 30mm from BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
its directrix. Draw the ellipse, given the eccentricity as anding PO2,
3/5. Draw a tangent and normal at a point 25mm from PO3,
the centre of the ellipse. PO9,
PO10
2. Draw the parabola with the vertex located 20mm from BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
its directrix. Also, draw the normal and tangent to the anding PO2,
curve from a point 50mm from the focus of the curve. PO3,
PO9,
PO10
3. The vertex of a hyperbola is 65mm from its focus. BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
Draw the curve if the eccentricity is 3/2. Draw a anding PO2,
normal and tangent at a point of the curve, 75mm from PO3,
the directrix. PO9,
PO10
4. Construct one complete turn of an involute of a circle BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
of diameter 80mm. Draw a tangent and a normal at a anding PO2,
point on the curve 75 mm from the centre of the circle. PO3,
PO9,
PO10
5. A circle of 50mm diameter rolls along a straight line BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
without slipping. Draw the curve traced out by a point anding PO2,
P on the circumference, for one complete revolution of PO3,
the circle. Name the curve and draw a tangent and PO9,
normal to the curve at a point on it 40mm above the PO10
straight line.
6. A circle of radius 25mm rolls on the concave side of BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
another circle of radius 50mm.Draw the path traced by anding PO2,
a point on the rolling circle. PO3,
PO9,
PO10
7. Draw the involute of a circle of diameter 50mm when BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
a string is unwound in the clockwise direction. Draw a anding PO2,
tangent and normal at a point located on the involute. PO3,
PO9,
PO10
8. Draw a hypocycloid of a circle of 40mm diameter that BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
rolls inside another circle of 200mm diameter for one anding PO2,
revolution. Draw tangent and normal at any point on PO3,
the curve. PO9,
PO10
9. An inelastic string of 150 mm length has one of its BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
ends attached to the circumference of a circular disc of anding PO2,
40mm diameter. Draw the curve traced by the other PO3,
end of the string when it is completely unwound from PO9,
around the disc keeping the string always tight. Also PO10
draw the tangent and normal to the obtained curve at a
point 100mm away from the centre of the disc.
10. A coir is unwound from a drum of 30mm diameter. BTL-2 Underst CO106.1 PO1,
1 Draw the locus of the free end of the coir for anding PO2,
unwinding through an angle of 360°. Draw also a PO3,
normal and tangent at any point on the curve. PO9,
PO10
