Solution - SCALES

The document outlines various exercises related to engineering graphics, focusing on the construction of scales and calculating representative fractions (RF) for distances and areas. It includes tasks such as creating scales to measure distances in meters and kilometers, as well as setting off angles using a scale of chords. Additionally, it requires drawing scales for specific measurements and representing real-world distances on maps.

1. (a) The distance between two stations by road is 200 kilometres. It is represented on a certain map by a 5 centimetres long line. Find the RF.

(b) A rectangular field of 0.54 hectares is represented on a map by a rectangle of 3 centimeters × 2 centimeters. Find the RF.

2. Construct a scale of 1:40 to read metres and decimetres and long enough to measure up to 6 metres. Mark a distance of 4.7 m on it
3. Construct a scale of 1:40 to read metres, decimetres and centimetres and long enough to measure up to 6 m. Mark a distance of 4.76 m on it.
4. If 1 cm long line on a map represents a real length of 4 m. Calculate the R.F. and draw a vernier scale long enough to measure up to 50 m. Show
a distance of 44.5 m on it.
5. On a railway map, an actual distance of 36 miles between two stations is represented by a line 10 cm long. Draw a plain scale to show mile and
long enough to read up to 60 miles. Also draw a comparative scale attached to it to show kilometre and read up to 90 kilometres. On the scale
show the distance in kilometres equivalent to 46 miles. Take 1 mile = 1609 metres.

6. Construct a scale of chords showing 5° divisions and with its aid set-off angles 40°, 55° and 130°.

7.
7. An area of 49 square centimetres on a map represents an area of 16 sq. m on a field. Draw a scale long enough to measure 8 m. Mark a distance
of 6 m 9 dm on the scale.
8. A rectangular field of 0.54 hectares is represented on a map by a rectangle of 3 cm × 2 cm. Calculate the R.F. Draw a diagonal scale to read up to
a single metre and long enough to measure up to 500 metres. Show a distance of 438 m on it.
