1. WHAT IS A MACHINE?

- IT IS ANY DEVICE THAT TRANSFORMS INPUT ENERGY INTO AN OUTPUT

ENERGY WHICH PERFORMS INCREASED WORK. MACHINES ENHANCES
THE FORCE OR DISTANCE INITIALLY PRODUCED; BUT NOT
SIMULTANEOUSLY.

2. WHAT IS MECHANISM?
- A MECHANISM IS A DEVICE THAT CONVERTS MOTION, REGULATES IT,
AND TRANSFERS POWER OR CONTROL. BASED ON THE USER'S
CALIBRATION, A MECHANISM IS IN CHARGE OF MAGNIFYING THE
INPUT FORCE OR MOTION.

3. WHAT IS KINEMATICS?
- IT IS THE STUDY OF MOTION IN MECHANICAL SYSTEMS, DISREGARDS
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND FORCES IN FAVOR OF GEOMETRIC
ASPECTS. KINEMATICS CALCULATES SPEEDS AND RATIOS BY
MATHEMATICALLY MODELING MOTIONS WITH ALGEBRA,

4. WHAT IS LINKAGE?
- LINKAGES ARE MECHANICAL ASSEMBLIES THAT CONNECT SYSTEM
COMPONENTS AND KEEP THEM ALIGNED, WITHSTANDING EXTERNAL
FORCES. THESE ALLOW ELEMENTS TO ROTATE OR MOVE RELATIVE TO
ONE ANOTHER, ENSURING A SMOOTH AND CONTROLLED TRANSFER OF
POWER OR MOTION BETWEEN THE LINKED COMPONENTS.

5. WHAT ARE THE BASIC LINKS OF A LINKAGE?

- THE BASIC LINKS OF LINKAGES ARE CATEGORIZED BY THE NUMBER OF
LINKS CONNECTED AT EACH JOINT: BINARY LINKAGES HAVE TWO
LINKS, TERTIARY LINKAGES HAVE THREE, AND QUATERNARY
LINKAGES HAVE FOUR. EACH TYPE OFFERS VARYING DEGREES OF
COMPLEXITY AND MOTION CONTROL, ESSENTIAL FOR DESIGNING
MECHANISMS IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING.
