CYCLOIDS AND THEIR CONSTRUCTION

·                     A cycloid is a curve generated by a point on the circumference of the circle as the circle rolls along a straight line with out slipping.. ·                     The moving circle is called the “Generating circle” and the straight line is called the “Directing line” or the “Base line”. ·                     The point on the Generating circle which generates…

EPICYCLOIDS

·                     The cycloid is called the epicycloid when the generating circle rolls along another circle outside(directing circle) ·                     The curve traced by a point on a circle which rolls on the out side of a circular base surface CONSTRUCTION OF EPICYCLOID ·                     Step1: Draw and divide the circle in to 12 equal divisions. ·                     Step 2: Transfer the 12…

HYPOCYCLOIDS

construction of hypocycloid ·                     The curve traced by a point on a circle which rolls on the inside of a circular base surface. ·                     Step 1: Divide the rolling circle in to 12 equal divisions. ·                     Step 2: Transfer the 12 divisions on to the base surface. ·                     Step 3: Mark the 12 positions of the circle – center…

CONIC SECTION

CONIC SECTION mainly consists of three major parts they are Ellipse Parabola Hyperbola Conic sections are the intersections of a right regular cone, by a cutting plane in different positions, relative to the axis of the cone. PARABOLA The parabola  is a conic section, the intersection of a right circular conical surface and a plane to…

PARABOLA by TRIANGLE METHOD

A parabola is a curve traced by a point, moving such that, at any position ,its distance from the fixed point  (focus) is always equal to its distance from a fixed straight line (directrix)   parabola can be constructed in many ways.. like eccentricity method,  triangle method, oblong or rectangle method etc….  Triangle method triangle method of…
