Study the following statements.i) The displacement method is more useful when degree of kinematic indeterminacy is greater than the degree of static indeterminacy.ii) The displacement method is more useful when degree of kinematic indeterminacy is less than the degree of static indeterminacy.iii) The force method is more useful when degree of static indeterminacy is greater than the degree of kinematic indeterminacy.iv) The force method is more useful when degree of static indeterminacy is less than the degree of kinematic indeterminacy.The correct answer is

A

(i) and (iii)

B

(ii) and (iii)

(ii) and (iv)

The figure shows a mechanism with 3 revolute pairs (between the links 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 3 and 4) and a prismatic pair (between the links 1 and 4). Which one of the four links should be fixed to obtain the mechanism that forms the basis of the quick-return mechanism widely used in a shaper?

A

Link 1

B

Link 2

C

Link 3

D

Link 4

Inversion of a kinematic chain relative to some other links is a property of the chain and is not that of the mechanism.

A

True

B

False

Ina kinematic inversion, the relative motions between links of the mechanism change as different links are made the frame by turns.

A

True

B

False

Statement I: In four-bar chain, whenever all four links are used, with each of them forming a turning pair, there will be continuous relative motion between the two links of different lengths. Statement II: For a four-bar mechanism, the sum of the shortest and longest link lengths is not greater than the sum of remaining two links.

A

Both Statement I and Statement II are individually true, and Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

B

Both Statement I and Statement II are individually true, but Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

C

Statement I is true, but Statement II is false

D

Statement I is false, but Statement II is true
