Steps are given to find the normal and tangent for a cycloid. Arrange the steps if C is the centre for generating circle and PA is the directing line. N is the point on cycloid. i. Through M, draw a line MO perpendicular to the directing line PA and cutting at O. ii. With centre N and radius equal to radius of generating circle, draw an arc cutting locus of C at M. iii. Draw a perpendicular to ON at N which is tangent. iv. Draw a line joining O and N which is normal.
