(4 Marks) (b) Consider Figure Q1. The point P (a,b) is given a rotation by an angle 0 about an axis parallel to the z axis (normal to the paper) and passing through the fixed point F (x,,y,). The final position of the point is QG.y). Q(xy) a P(a,b) F(x1ys) x Figure Q1 Establish that the transformation can be given by the equation x] [1 0 x,feos@-sing 01 0 -x,Ta y|=|0 1 y,|jsin@ cos@ 0]0 1 ~y»,/b : 0 ‘| 0 i oo. i (c) The vertices of a quadrilateral are (90, 50), (110, 500), (120, 70) and (80, 70). If the quadrilateral is given a clockwise rotation by 30°with (90, 60) as the fixed point find the vertices of the resulting quadrilateral.

If the curve is defined by the equations: x(t) = ayt? +a, + ay,U+ ay, YU) = aw +ayw? bauray, Show that the coefficients can be determined by the relationship: 2 As, yy wow mu 1 fa Gy Gy) lus uy uy 1 | Wr a, 4| jus wow IP as M%, My| [us up uy 1] Ley % (4 Marks) (b) A Parametric cubic curve passes through the points P(16, 28) , (60, 88) , R(88, 88)and (112, 48). Establish the parametric equations of this curve. (6 Marks) (©) Consider the curve passing through the points P(16, 28) ,2(60, 88), (88, 88) and S(112, 48). Assuming that the curve is a third order Bezier Curve establish the four control points. (10 Marks) Total Marks: (20 Marks) Hint: For both parts (b) and (c) you may assume that the u values at points are proportional to the sum of chord lengths.Question 3 (a) (b) (© Explain the concept of a composite curve by considering a curve connecting five points Po, Ps, Pz, Pa and Ps. (4 Marks) Explain how a surface can be modelled as a collection of points bounded by curves. (6 Marks) A cubic Hermitte spline interpolates through the points {(15, 90), (22, 65), (32, 40), (70, 20), (103, 40), (115, 70)}. It is natural at (15, 90) and has a quadratic right hand span. Find the set of second derivatives of the spline at these points. Hint: Condition for a Hermitte spline at intermediate points is Mirt 4M + Min = 6(pist ~2pi piss) (10 Marks) Total Marks: (20 Marks)Question 4 (a) (b.) Explain any three of the following in relation to Solid Modelling: i Geometry Based Modelling. i Feature Based Modelling. ili Generic and Specific Properties of Feature. iv Parent Child relationship with respect to Feature Based Modelling.
