What will be the resulting curve if following cone is cut through plane as shown?(a) Circle(b) Ellipse(c) Rectangle(d) SquareThe question was asked by my school principal while I was bunking the class.Asked question is from Configuration Layout topic in chapter Configuration Layout and Loft of Aircraft Design

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) Circle

The explanation is: CONIC shape is DEPENDENT on the way we cut the cone. As SHOWN in the figure, if conic is cut through a plane which is perpendicular to the AXIS of the cone then, the resultant shape will be a circle. Similarly, if plane is slanted then it will produce an ellipse.
