View Answer
Explanation: Use is represented symbolically using
. It is abbreviated as U. It is represented by a purple colour. It gives the meaning of ‘manipulating or causing a tool to do its function’.6. What the symbol 
represents in a SIMO chart?
a) Disassemble
b) Respect
c) Plan
d) Grasp
View Answer
Explanation:
is used to represent the therblig ‘disassemble’. Its colour is light violet. It is abbreviated as DA. It represents the micromotion ‘separate two or more parts’.7. What is the abbreviation of the therblig ‘unavoidable delay’?
a) R
b) UD
c) PN
d) F
View Answer
Explanation: UD is the abbreviation for the unavoidable delay. Its colour is yellow. It is represented as
. It represents the meaning of the micromotion ‘a delay which the operator could not prevent’.8. What
