Option 3 : 1, 2 and 3
Concept:
Kinematic pairs are classified under three headings namely, lower pair, higher pair, and wrapping pair.
Lower Pair:
A pair is said to be a lower pair when the connection between two elements is through the area of contact. Some of the types of Lower pair are:
- Revolute Pair
- Prismatic Pair
- Screw Pair
- Cylindrical Pair
- Spherical Pair
- Planar Pair
Higher Pair:
A pair is said to be higher pair when the connection between two elements has only a point or line of contact.
Examples of higher pairs are:
- A point contact takes place when spheres rest on a plane or curved surfaces (in the case of ball bearings)
- Contact between teeth of a skew-helical gears
- Contact made by roller bearings
- Contact between teeth of most of the gears
- Contact between cam-follower
- Contact between belt and pulley.
Wrapping Pairs:
In a higher pair, the contact between the two bodies has only a line contact or a point contact. Whereas in a wrapping pair, one body completely wraps over the other.
The typical example is of a belt and a pulley or a chain and a sprocket where the belt completely wraps around the pulley or the chain completely wraps around the sprocket.
Wrapping pair is closer to higher pair since it is multiple point contact
