In the feed drive of a point to point open loop $$CNC$$ drive, a stepper motor rotating at $$200steps/rev$$ drives a table through a gear box and lead screw-nut mechanism (pitch $$=4mm,$$ number of starts $$=1$$). The gear ratio $$=$$ Output speed / input speed is given by $$U=1/4.$$ The stepper motor (driven by voltage pulses from a pulse generator) executes $$1$$ step / pulse from a pulse generator) executes $$1$$ step / pulse of the generator. The frequency of the pulse train from the pulse generator is $$f=10000$$ pulses per minute.

A customer insists on a modification to change the $$BLU$$ of the $$CNC$$ drive to $$10$$ Microns without changing the table speed. The modification can be accomplished by

Which among the $$NC$$ operations given below are continuous path operations? Arc Welding $$(A$$ $$W)$$, Milling $$(M),$$ Drilling $$(D),$$ Punching in Sheet Metal $$(P)$$ Laser Cutting of Sheet Metal $$(LC),$$ Spot Welding $$(SW).$$

The tool of an $$NC$$ machine has to move along a circular arc from $$(5,5)$$ to $$(10,10)$$ while performing an operation. The center of the arc is at $$(10,5).$$ Which one of the following $$NC$$ tool path commands performs the above mentioned operation?

In a $$2-D$$ $$CAD$$ package, clockwise circular arc of radius, $$5,$$ specified from $${P_1}\left( {15,10} \right)$$ to $${P_2}\left( {10,15} \right)$$ will have its center at
