This set of Machine Kinematics Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on ” Mechanisms with Lower Pairs”.
1. A pantograph consists of
a) 4 links
b) 6 links
c) 8 links
d) 10 links
View Answer
Explanation: In a pantograph, all the pairs are turning pairs. It has 4 links.
2. Which of these mechanisms gives an approximately straight line?
a) hart
b) watt
c) peaucellier
d) tchebicheff
View Answer
Explanation: Watt’s mechanism is a crossed four bar chain mechanism and was used by Watt for his early steam engines to guide the piston rod in a cylinder to have an approximate straight line motion.
3. Which of these mechanism has six links?
a) tchebicheff
b) hart
c) peaucellier
d) watt
View Answer
Explanation: Hart’s mechanism requires only six links as compared with the eight links required by the Peaucellier mechanism.
4. Which of these mechanisms use two identical mechanisms?
a) hart
b) watt
c) peaucellier
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: None.
5. The Davis steering gear is not used because
a) it has turning pairs
b) it is costly
c) it has sliding pair
d) it does not fulfil the condition of correct gearing
View Answer
Explanation: Though the gear is theoretically correct, but due to the presence of more sliding members, the wear will be increased which produces slackness between the sliding surfaces, thus eliminating the original accuracy. Hence Davis steering gear is not in common use.
6. The Davis steering gear fulfils the condition of correct steering at
a) two positions
b) three positions
c) all positions
d) one positions
View Answer
Explanation: It can be used in all positions.
Ackermann steering gear fulfils the condition of correct steering at only three positions.
7. The Ackermann steering gear fulfils the condition of correct steering at
a) no position
b) one position
c) three positions
d) all positions
View Answer
Explanation: Ackermann steering gear fulfils the condition of correct steering at only three positions.
8. A Hooke’s joint is used to join two shafts which are
a) aligned
b) intersecting
c) parallel
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: Hooke’s joint is used to connect two shafts, which are intersecting at a small angle.
9. The maximum velocity of the driven shaft of a Hooke’s joint is
a) ω1 cosα
b) ω1/cosα
c) ω1 sinα
d) ω1/sinα
View Answer
Explanation: Maximum speed of the driven shaft,
ω1(max) = ωcosα/ 1 – sin2α = ωcosα/cos2α = ω/cosα.
10. The maximum velocity of the driven shaft of a Hooke’s joint is at ϴ equal to
a) 00 and 1800
b) 900 and 2700
c) 900 and 1800
d) 1800 and 2700
View Answer
Explanation: Maximum velocity is determined at 00 ,1800 and 3600.
