What type of link is characterized by negligible deformation under applied forces?

Rigid Link

Fill in the blank: A __________ is a practical application of a mechanism that also transmits and modifies mechanical energy into desired work.

Machine

True or False: Completely constrained motion allows movement in multiple directions regardless of the force applied.

False. Completely constrained motion occurs in a definite direction irrespective of the direction of force applied.

Riddle: I allow sliding motion between my links, but I don't rotate. What am I?

Sliding Pair

According to Kutzback's equation, the degree of freedom (DOF) is calculated as F = 3(N - 1) - 2j - h. What does 'N' represent?

Total number of links in the mechanism

Which type of motion occurs when the motion between two elements of a pair depends on the applied force?

Incompletely Constrained Motion

Fill in the blank: The __________ law states that for continuous relative motion in a four-bar mechanism, the sum of the shortest and longest link must not exceed the sum of the other two links.

Grashof's

True or False: A higher pair has surface contact between its links.

False. A higher pair has point or line contact between its links.

What is the mechanical advantage (MA) of a mechanism defined as?

The ratio of the output force or torque to the input force or torque at any instant.

Riddle: I pivot around a point, allowing rotation but no sliding. What am I?

Turning Pair
