The two shafts $$AB$$ and $$BC$$, of equal length and diameters $$d$$ and $$2d$$, are made of the same material. They are joined at $$B$$ through a shaft coupling, while the ends $$A$$ and $$C$$ are built-in (cantilevered). A twisting moment $$T$$ is applied to the coupling. If $${T_A}$$ and $${T_C}$$ represent the twisting moments at the ends $$A$$ and $$C,$$ respectively, then

Two identical cantilever beams are supported as shown, with their free ends in contact through a rigid roller. After the load P is applied, the free ends will have

The number of degrees of freedom of a planar linkage with 8 links and 9 simple revolute joints is

An instantaneous configuration of a four-bar mechanism, whose plane is horizontal, is shown in the figure below. At this instant, the angular velocity and angular acceleration of link $${Q_2}\,\,A$$ are $$\omega = 8\,\,rad/s$$ and $$\alpha = 0$$, respectively, and the driving torque $$(T)$$ is zero. The link $${Q_2}\,\,A$$ is balanced so that its center of mass falls at $${Q_2}.$$

Which kind of $$4$$-bar mechanism is $${Q_2}AB{O_4}?$$
