Question

Define Cycloid,Epicycloid and Hypocycloid which is in Engineering Graphics?​

Answer 1

Answer:

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 the curve is called the "Generating point"

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
