Interpenetration 2

Full Practice session

Q1. A tetrahedron base edge length 250mm and
height 275mm is resting on the HP on its base, with
one base edge parallel to VP and the base point
opposite to this edge is away from the observer. It
is interpenetrated by a triangular prism (base edge
length 175mm and height 450mm). The axis of the
prism is parallel to both HP and VP, one of its
rectangular face is parallel to HP and at 100mm
above the HP, the edge opposite to this rectangular
face is above this face. This rectangular face which
is parallel to the HP is 25mm away behind the axis
of the tetrahedron. The axis of the prism extends
equally on both side of the axis of the tetrahedron.
Draw the projections and show the profiles. (First
angle projection) .

Q2. A right regular hexagonal pyramid of base

edge 32 mm and height 72 mm is resting on its
base in HP with one of its base edges parallel to
VP. It is interpenetrated by a square prism, of
diagonal 32mm and 64mm long with its two
base edges equally inclined to the ground and is
resting on the ground on one of its side edge.
The diagonals bisect at 16 mm from the base.
The axis of the prism is 12mm towards the right
of the axis of the pyramid and is perpendicular
to the VP. Draw the top view of the solids
showing profile of interpenetration. Assume
symmetrical interpenetration. 1 grid = 4mm,
(Follow 3rd angle method of projection).
Q.3 A pentagonal pyramid of base 200mm and
height 275mm is resting on the ground with one
base edge parallel to xy-line and away from the

observer. It is completely interpenetrated by a

square prism of base edge length 100mm and
has all the rectangular faces equally inclined to
the ground. The axis of the square prism is
parallel to both HP and VP and it is 100mm
above base of pentagonal pyramid at 50mm
nearer to the observer than the axis of the
pyramid. Draw the projection of the solid. Draw
the interpenetration profile and trim the lines
which
have
lost
identity
due
to
interpenetration. Height of the prism is 450mm
and it is symmetrical with respect to axis of
pyramid. (Solve in 3rd Quadrant)
