SOLIDS
II. SOLIDS OF REVOLUTION
Solid that are generated by rotating a plane about a line for one revolution.
A. Cylinder
A right circular cylinder is generated by revolution/rotating a rectangle about
one of its side which remain fixed for one complete revolution. It has two
equal circular bases. The line joining the centres of the bases is called axis.
It is perpendicular to the bases. And one single curved surface.
B. Cone
A right circular cone is a solid generated by revolution/rotating a right angled
triangle about one of its perpendicular arms/side which is fixed for one
complete revolution. It has one circular base. Its axis joins the apex with
the centre of the base to which it is perpendicular. Straight lines drawn
from the apex to the circumference of the base-circle are all equal and
called generators of the cone. The length of the generator is the slant height
of the cone.

C. Sphere
A sphere is a solid generated by revolution/rotating a semi-circle about its
diameter as the axis for one complete revolution. The mid-point of the
diameter is the centre of the sphere. All points on the surface of the sphere
are equidistant from its centre.
D. Frustum
When a pyramid or a cone is cut by a plane parallel to its base, thus
removing the top portion, the remaining portion is called its frustum.
E. Truncated
When a solid is cut by a plane inclined to the base it is said to be truncated.
Cylinder Cone
Prisms Pyramids
Cube Tetrahedron
( A solid having ( A solid having
six square faces) Four triangular faces)
SOLIDS
Dimensional parameters of different solids.
Sections of solids( top & base not parallel) Frustum of cone & pyramids.
( top & base parallel to each other)

NOTE
Here mostly right and regular solids are
dealt with. Hence, when a solid is
named without any qualifications, it
should be understood as being right and
regular

Problem 13-11: draw the projections of a cylinder 75mm diameter and 100mm
long, lying on the ground with its axis inclined at 30 to the V.P. and parallel to
the ground.
Problem 13-12: A hexagonal pyramid, base 25mm side and axis 50mm long,
has an edge of its base on the ground. Its axis is inclined at 30 to the ground and
parallel to the V.P. Draw its projections.
Problem 13-13: Draw the projections of a cone, base 75mm diameter and axis
100mm long, lying on the H.P. on one of its generators with the axis parallel to
the V.P.
