Loci of Points

This document discusses loci, which is defined as the path of a point moving in space. It describes how the locus of a point moving a constant distance from another point is a circle, and the locus of a point a constant distance from a fixed line is a parallel line. Examples are given of loci equidistant between points and lines. The last section assigns homework on drawing specific loci examples. Key terms used in engineering drawings are also defined through abbreviations.

LOCI OF POINTS
Locus:- A locus (Plural Loci) is a path of a
point which moves in space.

Locus of a Point:- The locus of a point P

moving in a plane about another point O in


such a way that its distance from it is constant
is a circle of radius equal to OP.

LOCI OF POINTS
The locus of a point P moving in a plane in

such a way that its distance from a fixed line


AB is constant, is a line through P, ||e to the
fixed line.

LOCI OF POINTS
When the fixed line is an arc of a circle, the
locus will be another arc drawn through P
with the same center.

Example
Draw the locus of a point equidistant

from a fixed straight line & a fixed point.


A
Solution
Let AB be the given straight line &
C be the given point.
From C draw a perpendicular
to AB at D, Bisect CD at P, P is
the locus point.
Make a number of points 1, 2,
3, etc., on PC & through them
draw lines ||e to AB.

Example Cond.
Now taking center C and radius D1, draw

an arc cutting the line through 1 at P1


and P1. Again with the same center &
radius D2, draw an arc cutting the line
through 2 at P2 & P2. Similarly, obtain
points & through them a smooth curve
which is the required locus of P.
