Which of the following mechanisms is formed when the links of a mechanism lie in different planes? Correct Answer Spatial

Explanation:

Mechanism:

A mechanism is a set of machine elements or components or parts arranged in a specific order to produce a specified motion. When one of the links of a kinematic chain is fixed, the chain is called a mechanism.

Mechanisms are of the following types:

Simple mechanism

  • This is a mechanism that has four links.

Compound mechanism

  • This is a mechanism that has more than four links.

Complex mechanism

  • This is formed by the inclusion of a ternary or higher-order floating link to a simple mechanism.

Planar mechanism

  • This is formed when all the links of the mechanism lie in the same plane.

Spatial mechanism

  • This is formed when all the links of the mechanism lie in different planes.

Equivalent mechanism

  • Turning pairs of plane mechanisms may be replaced by other types of pairs such as sliding pairs or cam pairs. The new mechanism thus obtained having the same number of degrees of freedom as the original mechanism is called the equivalent mechanism

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.
