Activity 5.2a Geometric Constraints


Activity 5.2a Geometric Constraints

Conclusion
1.      What is a geometric constraint?
It's some kind of limitation placed on an object, therefore keeping it in shape that user wants.

2.      What are the different types of geometric constraints that are applied to sketches, and what are their functions?
There are plentiful number of geometric constraints to suit the needs. For example equal makes two shape or line equal. Concentric circle tool makes sure circles all have same center point.

3.      Define “tangent”.
The straight line that touches a curve at a point.

a.                  Sketch a line tangent to two circles.



b.      Sketch three circles such that all circles are tangent to the other two.



4.   How is a geometric constraint different from a numeric constraint?
Geometric constraints define specific orientations in relation to  other objects. While numerical constraints are number values that control dimension or location of the figure in question.

Activity 3.1b Linear Measurement with US Customary Units Procedure Conclusion 1.                   When you look at a drawing, how do you know if you are looking at U S Customary or SI measurements? Why is it important for an engineer to know this piece of information? US customary system has fractions. Moreover SI measurements are only in power of tens while US customary system is not. Engineers need to know this information or else they will end with the wrong measurements, which leads to  too little or too large designs.

Activity 9.1 Product Lifecycle Conclusion 1.       What is meant by product lifecycle ?  Product life-cycle is the process in which the object designed by engineer goes through. 2.       Why is it important for companies who make products to research and determine a product’s potential lifecycle?  This is important to determine the sources of material for product and to change the factory place in accordance with bulk-gaining or bulk-reducing industry. As well as the duration the product will be used by each person and to ensure its proper disposal. 3.       What would you change about your product? Why?  I think the product should be changed to be more tough. Because we didn't do a structural integrity test yet. As well as assembling by more interlocking wood joint. 4.       Do you think your product will evolve or become obsolete over t...
