UNIT - I

1. Draw an ellipse when the eccentricity is 2/3 and the distance of the focus from the directrix is equal to 50
mm. Also draw a normal and tangent to a point on the ellipse which is at a distance of 70 mm from the
directrix.
2. A fixed point is 50 mm from a fixed line. Draw the locus of a point moving in such a way that its distance
from the fixed straight line is equal to its distance from the fixed point. Name the curve and draw a tangent
and normal at a point horizontal distance of 40 mm from the directrix.
3. A circle of diameter 50 mm rolls along the inside of another circle of diameter 200 mm without slipping.
Draw the path traced by a point on the smaller circle. Draw the tangent and normal at a point on the curve.
4. Draw locus of a point on the periphery of a circle having diameter of 50 mm, which rolls on straight line
path. Name the curve and draw a tangent and normal to the curve at any point Q on it.
5. Draw the involute of a circle of diameter 40 mm. Also draw the tangent and normal to the curve at any point.

6. The top view of a 80 mm long line AB measures 65 mm, while the length of its front view is 55 mm. Its one
end A in the HP. And 12 mm in front of the VP. Draw the projections of AB and determine its inclinations
with the HP and VP.
7. A straight-line ST has its end S, 10 mm in front of the VP and nearer to it. The midpoint m of the line is 50
