22
Q

23
Q

The simultaneous relative positions of a mechanism at a given instant during a cycle

24
The geometrical forms by which two members of a mechanism are joined together so that the relative motion between these two members is consistent
pairing elements.
25
If the joint by which two members are connected has surface contact such as a pin joint,
lower pair.
26
If the connection takes place at a point or along a line such as in a ball bearing or between two gear teeth in contact,
higher pair.
27
A _______ can be either a lower or a higher pair depending upon whether a pin and bushing or a ball bearing is used for the connection.
turning pair
28
A ______ will be a lower pair as between a piston and cylinder wall.
sliding pair
29
A _____ is a rigid body having two or more pairing elements by means of which it may be connected to other bodies for purposes of transmitting force or motion.
link
30
When a number of links is connected by means of pairs, the resulting system
kinematic chain.
31
If these links are connected in such a way that no motion is possible,
locked chain (structure)
32
A _____ is obtained when the links are so connected that, no matter how many motion cycles are passed through, the relative motion will always be the same between the links.
constrained chain
33
It is also possible to connect links so that an _____ results, which means that the motion pattern will vary from time to time depending on the amount of friction present in the joints.
unconstrained chain
34
If one of the links of a constrained chain is made a fixed link,
mechanism.
35
If in a mechanism, the link which was originally fixed is allowed to move and another link becomes fixed, the mechanism is said to be _____.
inverted
36
In the study of mechanisms, it is necessary to investigate the method in which motion may be transmitted from one member to another. Motion may be transmitted in three ways:
(a) direct contact between two members such as between a cam and follower or between two gears, (b) through an intermediate link or connecting rod, and (c) by a flexible connector such as a belt or chain.
37
the _____ of a mechanism is the number or degrees of freedom it possesses.
mobility
38
______ is the minimum number of independent parameters required to specify the location of every link within a mechanism.
mobility
