Question: QUESTION 1 ( 1 0 0 MARKS ) The Front View and BASE / PLAN of a pentagonal prism in Fig Q 2 . 1

QUESTION 1
(100 MARKS)
The Front View and BASE/PLAN of a pentagonal prism in Fig Q2.1 are to be drawn FULL SCALE, together with its lateral surface development, centralized in the drawing area. A section plane at \(30^{\circ}\) cuts off the top part of the pentagon as indicated by the bottom slanting line.
a). Using the illustrated inscribing circle of diameter \(\mathbf{52 ~ m m}\), height of \(\mathbf{80 ~ m m}\) of the prism, and assuming a lateral surface development of a total width of \(\mathbf{153}\mathbf{~ m m}\), calculate the vertical and horizontal spacings between the views (i.e., front, top, and lateral surface development), and the margins of the drawing area.
b). draw the views paying attention to the following:
i. that the drawing paper margins, and title block have been drawn to specifications, and the given views are positioned in the drawing area as calculated in (a) above, and correct line types are used. [4 Marks]
ii. that the base view is constructed according to the general principle used for constructing a pentagon given the diameter of the inscribing circle
[8 Marks]
iii. that you have used correct line types of consistent weight across the drawing for the various views
[4 Marks]
iv. that only your student number is given, aligned to the left of the title block, in correct lettering.
[2 Marks]
v. The cutting plane line is redrawn to the technical details of the ANSI standard given in Appendix C and clearly indicating the viewing direction from the top left-hand side [10 Marks]
c) Construct the TRUE SHAPE (TS) of the cut surface using the reference line method paying attention to the following:
i. that the reference line
- is coincident with the left top corner of the front view as illustrated in Fig Q2.1
- is in chain line [4 Marks],
- is constructed neatly [4 Marks],
- is constructed parallel to the section plane line [2 Marks]
- is labelled using correct notation
ii. that the TRUE SHAPE (TS)
[2 Marks]
[2 Marks]
- is correctly sized and orientated
[2 Marks]
- is constructed by applying the reference line method correctly (noting that it would be advisable to have the other reference line on the pentagon view on its bottom horizontal edge)
[4 Marks]
- is drawn in the correct line.
iii. that the cut surface is indicated
- using section lines in the correct line type
- spaced at 4 mm
- and inclined at 45 degrees to the TRUE SHAPE fold line
d) Finally, construct the lateral surface development of the prism paying attention to the following
i. the development is correctly located as above.
ii. the development is in correct size, correct drawing technique is used, and the outline has been correctly completed using the correct line type
APPENDIX B
(Acceptable line types/styles for various features)\& (Acceptable lettering style for the title block)
