26. Draw the locus of a point p which moves in such a way that the ratio is
always constant & equal to 4/7. The fixed point is 70mm Away from the fixed
straight line. Name the curve. Draw the tangent & normal to the curve at a point on the
curve 60mm fromThe fixed straight line.

the ground, draw the pathof the ball. The radial distance between the fielder and
wicket keeper is 75m.
