Sheet 6: Projection of Section of Solids and Development of Surfaces

Q1. A pentagonal prism of base edge 35 mm and axis 65 mm lies on HP with its base edge parallel
to VP. It is cut by a plane perpendicular to HP and inclined at 30 o to VP passes through a point 8
mm away from the axis. Draw the sectional elevation and true shape of the section.
Q2. A cone of base diameter 50 mm and altitude 70 mm rests on its base on the HP. It is cut by a
plane perpendicular to the VP and inclined at 40o to the HP. The cutting plane meets the axis at 30
mm from the vertex. Draw the sectional top view.
Q3. A pentagonal pyramid having base side 45 mm and slant length of 80 mm rests on a base on
HP with base edge AB perpendicular to the VP. A section plane passing through a corner D and
perpendicular to the slant face ABO cuts the solid. Draw the sectional front view and top view.
Q4. A vertical chimney of circular section of 400 mm diameter joints the roof of a room sloping
at 35o to the horizontal. The shortest portion of the chimney is 300 mm. Determine the shape of
the sheet metal from which the chimney can be made. Use scale 1:10 scale.
Q5. A right circular cone of diameter 60 mm and height 70 mm is cut by an inclined plane passing
through the axis at a point 15 mm above the base and inclined at 45o to HP and perpendicular to
VP. Draw the development of lateral surface of the cone.
