Show hintHide hint
Think about how machines respond to inputs.
Question 2.
Name a fundamental link mechanism discussed in this section.
Show hintHide hint
It consists of two links.
3Question 3.
What is the main focus of function generation?

Show hintHide hint
Remember the definition of dyads.
Question 5.
Design a mechanism using a dyad to achieve a specific task, such as lifting a load. Explain your reasoning and any graphical methods you would use.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the forces and how the angles change during operation.
Question 6.
Critically analyze the impact of inaccuracies in graphical synthesis when designing a four-bar linkage. What are the potential consequences?
Show hintHide hint
Consider real-world applications where failures could occur due to these inaccuracies.
