The circle plays a vital role in machine design as most rotating parts are circular in shape. Components

like gears, pulleys, bearings, shafts, flywheels, and wheels are designed using circular geometry to

ensure smooth motion and balance. Circular motion helps in transferring power efficiently and

minimizing vibration. The use of circles in machine design simplifies assembly, reduces wear, and

improves performance. Accurate circular dimensions are essential in manufacturing processes like

turning and drilling. Thus, the concept of the circle forms the foundation of rotational mechanisms,

making it one of the most important shapes in engineering and machine design.

a) Radius

b) Tangent

c) Vertex

d) Chord

a) On single straight line

b) Equidistant from the centre

c) Randomly distributed Radius is the distance between two points on circle

d) Coordinate Dimensioning

Read the passage and answer the questions from 19 to 22 given below: (4x1 = 4)

The shape of the building is a frustum of a regular pentagonal pyramid. In orthographic projection,

this solid is represented using three standard views: the front view, top view, and side view. The top

view shows a regular pentagon, indicating uniform tapering. The front view displays a truncated shape

with slant edges, while the side view reveals the inclined faces and reduced top portion. Orthographic

projection helps accurately capture dimensions, angles, and true shapes of faces. This method is

crucial in engineering drawing, enabling designers and manufacturers to interpret the complex 3D

form into precise 2D representations for production and analysis.
