Engineering Drawing Practice Test 3

1. Given are the steps to construct a square using a compass when the length of the side is given. Arrange the steps.
i. Join A, B, C and D to form a square
ii. At A with radius AB draw an arc, cut the AE at D
iii. Draw a line AB with given length. At A draw a perpendicular AE to AB using arcs
iv. With centers B and D and the same radius, draw arcs intersecting at C

2. The parabola x² = ay is symmetric about x-axis.

3. What is the length of the scale? (R.F. = 1/5)

4. __________ is a curve generated by a point on the circumference of a circle which rolls without slipping on a straight line.

5. In which of the following elliptical curves are not used?

6. For the equation of hyperbola XY = 3, what will be the eccentricity?

7. To draw an arc of given radius touching two straight lines at right angles with each other, we first draw ______ with centre at the intersection point of the two lines on both the lines.

8. Which of the following is the eccentricity for an ellipse?

9. If the asymptotes are perpendicular to each other then the hyperbola is called rectangular hyperbola.

10. The length of the latus rectum is four times the focal length for the parabolic curve.
