PART B: Problems (only 2)


Q1 Give the parametric curve representation of the 4
ellipse shown below.

Q2 Euler-Poincare formula of solids 4


with voids. What is the relationship
between V, E, F, H and P of the solid
below? (The small cube is a hollow
part, also called a void.), Let W be
the number of voids in the solid,
establish the relationship between V,
E, F, H, P, and W.

Answer:

V =24, E = 36, F = 16, H = 2, P = 1,


By Euler-Poincare formula, that is V-E+F-H =2(1-P)
However 24-36+16-2= 2 not equal to 2(1-1)
Therefore this situation does not satisfy the formula, we add an unknown x to balance the
formula, that is
V-E+F-H = 2(1-P)+x , here x=2 for one void
Assume there are two voids in the solid V=32, E=48, F=22, H=2, P=1, in to above formula
x=4,
Similarly, for solid with 3 x=6, solid with 4, x=8
We could get the equation:
V-E+F-H = 2(1-P) +2W
W is the number of the voids.

Q3 Consider the Hermite curve defined in the plane with P(0) = (2, 3), P(1) = (4, 0), P’(0) = 8
(3, 2), and P’(1) = (3, -4). Find the curve equation.
