(5) Draw a kinematic diagram,
(6) compute the degrees of freedom for the clamp.

Note (An example problem solution is given in the last page ,you can get idea from
it)
Question 1 : Draw kinematic diagrams, identify all links, joints and
Point of interests. calculate mobility for the given diagrams
