Chapter 2, Problem 2.1P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The term "composition of material" is to be defined.

Concept introduction:

A material is an object which is composed of mixture of substances or of a chemical substance. These can be pure or impure, living or non-living and can be classified according to the physical and chemical properties, their geological origin or functions they perform biologically.

Explanation of Solution

The relative amount of all the elemental species present in a material is known as the composition of a material. Chemical formula such as, empirical or molecular formula can be used to express it.

For example, water is a material composed of hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) with the formula H2O. This implies that a molecule of water contains 1 atom of oxygen and 2 atoms of hydrogen which is the chemical composition of water.

Problem 9.11 An 80 mm long line MN has its end M 15 mm in front of the V.P. The distance between the ends projector is 50 mm. The front view is parallel to and 20 mm above reference line. Draw the projections of the line and determine its inclination with the V.P. Also, locate the traces. Interpretation Front view of a line is parallel to xy, therefore, 1. The line is parallel to the H.P. 2. The top view of the line has true length. 3. The front view has projected length equal to the distance be- tween the projectors. Construction Refer to Fig. 9.11. 1. Draw a reference line xy. Mark point m' 20 mm above xy and point m 15 mm below xy. 2. Draw a 50 mm long line m'n' parallel to xy. 3. Draw an arc with centre m and radius 80 mm to meet projec- tor from point n' at point n. Join mn to represent the top view. Determine its inclination with xy as the inclination of line MN with the V.P. Here = 51°. 4. Traces Extend line mn to meet xy at point v. Project point v to meet m'n' produced at…
