D8/3 Class Exercise: Blending of Curves, Tangents & Ellipse

This document contains instructions for three drawing exercises: 1) Constructing a figure showing blending of curves, tangents, and an ellipse using various construction methods. 2) Drawing three connected semi pulley wheels showing the construction to obtain points where a belt contacts the pulleys. 3) Drawing half an ellipse using the concentric circle method and half using the rectangular method, given the major axis length and distance to foci, and drawing a tangent and normal to the curve at a point below the major axis.

BLENDING OF CURVES, TANGENTS & ELLIPSE

01/05/2018
D8/3 Class Exercise
Question 1
Construct the figure shown, showing clearly the various constructions used to determine the centers
for the arcs.

Fig.2
Question 2
Figure 6 shows the outlines of three semi pulley wheels connected by a taut belt. Draw the figure, full
size, showing clearly the constructions for obtaining the points of contact of the belt and pulleys.

Fig.2
Question 2
The major axis of an ellipse is 108 mm and the foci of an ellipse are 20 mm away from the end
points of the major axis. Determine the length of the minor axes and draw half the ellipse by
concentric circle method and the other half by rectangular method. Draw a tangent and normal to the
curve at a point on it 20 mm below the major axis.
