ENGINEERING GRAPHICS VIVA Q&A

1. Define eccentricity of conic? Eccentricity of a conic is the ratio of the

distance of a point on the conic from the focus to its distance from the directrix.
2. What is the use of French curve? They are used to draw curved lines which
can be drawn with a compass.
3. What is the advantages of drafting machine? Used as T-square, triangles,
scales and protector. Also used for quick drafting operations like drawing
horizontal, vertical, inclined, parallel and perpendicular. Also for measuring the
lines and angles.
4. What is the size A2 and A3? A2 594 x 420 mm, A3 420 x 297 mm
5. Where these lines are used? Continuous thick - Visible outlines and edges;
Continuous thin - Imaginary lines, dimension lines, projection lines, hatching
lines. Dashed thick hidden outlines and edges Chain thin Center lines,
Symmetry lines Chain thin line thick at ends Cutting planes
6. What are the different shapes obtained cutting a cone. Circle cutting plane
perpendicular to the axis of the cone Ellipse cutting plane inclined to the axis
and not parallel to generators Parabola Cutting plane inclined to the axis and
parallel to generators
7. What is HP and VP? The principal plane in front of the observer is known as
the vertical plane. The other principal plane which is horizontal but
perpendicular to the VP is said to be the horizontal plane.
8. How you also mention the top view and front view? Top view is plan and
front view is elevation.
9. State the two principle method projection used. First angle projection third
angle projection.
10. Describe the position of an object in four quadrants? First quadrant above
HP and in front of VP Second quadrant above HP and behind VP Third
quadrant below HP and behind VP Forth quadrant below HP and in front of
VP

11. Difference between First and third angle projection. First angle projection object is placed in the first quadrant. Object lies between the observer and plane
of projection. The top view is below the front view. Right side view is drawn on
left of the front view. Third angle projection - object is placed in the third
quadrant. Plane of projection lies between the object and observer. The top view
is above the front view. Right side view is drawn on right of the front view
12. Draw the symbols for first and third angle projection. (Refer book page
no:6.6)
13. Mention the use of orthographic drawing? It is used in the shop floor of
industries for manufacturing engineering components.
14. What is orthographic projection? ORTHO means right angle and ORTHO
GRAHIC means right angled drawing. When the projectors are perpendicular to
the plane on which the projection is obtained is known orthographic projection.
15. Second and forth quadrant are not preferred for orthographic projections
why? In second quadrant, both the top and front views appear above the
reference line. In forth quadrant, both the top and front views appear below the
reference line. Thus, showing the projections on a flat surface becomes
inconvenient.
16. How front view of Pyramid and prism looks like? The front view of
Pyramid front view looks as Triangle. And Prism looks as Rectangle or square.
17. What are VT and HT? VT- vertical trace (the point of intersection of a line
with VP) HT- horizontal trace (the point of intersection of a line with HP)
18. Mention the types of solids Oblique solids Solid which has its axis
inclined to its base. Frustums Solid is cut by a section plane parallel to its base
Truncated solids Solid is cut by a section plane inclined to its base.
19. What is section plane? The imaginary plane by which the object is cut.
20. What is true shape of the section? The sectional view obtained on a plane
parallel to the section plane.
21. What is hatching lines? The section portion of the object is represented by
thin lines called hatching lines. They are drawn parallel to each other at an angle
of 45 and are equally spaced.
22. What is the use of development of surfaces? Used in aircraft and automobile
industries, ship building, making boilers, buckets, pipelines, household items.
23. Difference between orthographic projection and isometric projection.
Orthographic projection More than one view is needed to describe a solid.

a solid. Solids inclined to both HP and VP.

24. What are the methods to draw circle in isometric. Point method and four
center method (normally used).
25. Difference between isometric projection and isometric view. Isometric
projection Isometric dimensions are considered. Volume is less Isometric view
True dimensions are considered. Volume is more.
