Question Bank ME 6401 Kinematics of Machinery Part A
This document contains two parts of questions related to the course ME 6401 Kinematics of Machinery. Part A contains 14 multiple choice or short answer questions defining various kinematic concepts like spherical pairs, transmission angle, degrees of freedom, inversions, kinematic pairs, Grashof's law, and the difference between a mechanism and structure. Part B contains longer, more in-depth questions about inversions of 4-bar linkages, mechanisms for quick return motion like Whitworth and crank/slotted lever, pantographs, Ackerman steering gears, and Kutzbach criterion. It also includes a question asking to identify the type of 4-bar linkage based on link lengths.
