1.3 Cycloid General - Construction

1) A circle of 50mm diameter rolls along a horizontal line without slipping, tracing the path of a point P on its circumference. This traced path is a cycloid curve. 2) At a point on the cycloid 30mm above the base line, the tangent and normal to the curve are drawn. 3) To construct the cycloid, the circle is divided into 12 parts and lines are drawn from the corresponding points on the rolling circle to the base line, forming the curved shape of the cycloid.

the curve at a point on it 30 mm above the base
line. Take the generating point as bottommost
point of circle.

Ans) The Curve is a cycloid as the circle rolls
along a straight line without slipping. The
length for one revolution will be equal to *D
(i.e. 3.14* Diameter of circle). 1 3 6 9

L = PA= 3.14 * 50 = 157mm.

1) Draw a circle of 25 mm radius with centre C


and mark P as the bottommost point. Divide the
circle into 12 parts and label them as 1, 2, 3)4 4) On 1-11, 2-10, 3-9, etc of circles,
312 after P. draw lines parallel to PA. On 1,2,..12
of PA, draw lines to PA to cut center
