Note: All questions are compulsory.
1 Develop the equation of a Bezier curve and plot the curve by determining the points on the (10)
curves for t= [0, 0.15, 0.25, 0.45, 0.6, 0.75, 1] and plot the curve for the following data. The
coordinates of the four control points are given by:
Vo= [1, 0], V1= [2, 3], V2= [4,1], V3= [2, 1]

2 Find and plot the new position of the pentagon [A(3,2), B(5,2) , C(5,3), D(4,4) , E(3,3)] (10)
after its rotation by 90 degree anti-clockwise about A point and then reflection about a line
passing through (5.5 , 1) and parallel to y-axis ? Use homogenous transformations here.
Find the concatenated matrix. Plot intermediate positions also.

3 What are knot values. Find the number of segments and knot values for a B spline curve (4)
having 8 control points and 3 degree of the curve. Determine the continuity of the curve
also.

4 Describe the role of geometric modeling in CAD. Give few examples of different types of (6)
Automation.
