Engineering Curves
Q.1 A Circle 60 mm diameter rolls on a straight line without
slipping. Draw the locus of a point ‘P’ for complete
revolution of the circle. The point ‘P’ is 38mm above the
straight line and towards the right of vertical centre line
of the circle. [M- 6 May-15]
Solution:

1
Q.2 Draw an in volute of a circle of 60 mm diameter. Also
draw the normal and tangent at a point on the curve at a
distance of 120 mm from the Centre of the circle.
[M-6 Dec -14]

Q.3 A circle of a diameter 56 mm rolls without slip on a
horizontal surface by half a revolution and then it rolls up
on a vertical surface by another half revolution. Draw
the locus of a point p which is initially at the bottom of
the circle. [M-6 May -14]
Solution:

Q.4 A line AB 100 mm long is tangent at the top of a circular disc of
70mm diameter. The point A is at the top of the circumference.
The line AB rolls around the circumference of the circular disc
in a clockwise direction. Draw the locus of the end ‘A’ till the
end B touches the circle. Name the curve. [M-6 Dec-13]

Q.5 A circular plate of diameter 60mm rolls without slipping
along a straight line inclined at 30 to horizontal. Draw
locus of point of its contact with the line if it completes
one rotation. Name the curve. [M-6 May-13]
