8. The linear velocity of a point relative to another point on the same link is ……….. to the line joining the points.
a) perpendicular
b) parallel
c) at 450
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The total linear acceleration of a particle can be obtained by combining the two mutually perpendicular accelerations.
9. According to Kennedy’s theorem the instantaneous centres of three bodies having relative motion lie on a
a) curved path
b) straight line
c) point
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer
Explanation: The Aronhold Kennedy’s theorem states that if three bodies move relatively to each other, they have three instantaneous centres and lie on a straight line.
