normal to the curve from any point on it.
2. A coir is unwound from a drum of 30mm diameter. Draw the locus of
the free end of the coir for unwinding through an angle of 360°. Draw
also a tangent and normal at any point on the curve.
3. An inelastic string of length 100 mm is wound round a circle of 26 mm
diameter. Draw the path traced by the end of the string.

 Success has to do with deliberate practice. Practice must be focused, determined, and in an environment where there's feedback.
4. Make free-hand sketches of front, top and right side views of the CF3. The vertex of a hyperbola is 30 mm from its directrix and the
pictorial view shown in the figure eccentricity is 3/2 .Draw the hyperbola and draw the tangent and
normal at any point on the curve.
CF4. Draw the involute of a circle of diameter 40 mm and draw the tangent
and the normal to the involute at a point 95 mm from the centre of the
curve.
CF5. Draw a hypocycloid of a circle of 40 mm diameter which rolls inside
another circle of 200 mm diameter for one revolution.
CF6. Draw an epicycloid if a circle of 40 mm diameter rolls outside another
circle of 120 mm diameter for one revolution.
CF7. Draw the orthographic projections of the following component using
free hand.

Assignment6: Plane Curves and Free Hand Sketching

CF1. Draw the locus of a point P which moves in n a plane in such a way that
the ratio of its distances from a fixed point F and a fixed straight line AB
is always 2/3. The distance between the fixed point F and fixed straight
line is 50 mm. Also draw a tangent and normal on a point on the locus
at a horizontal distance of 55 mm from the fixed straight line.
CF2. Draw the locus of a point P moving so that the ratio of its distance from
a fixed point F to its distance from a fixed straight line DD’ is 1. Also
draw tangent and normal to the curve from any point on it.
