Kinematics of Machinery Problem Solutions

This document provides solutions to Problem 2-8, which asks the reader to identify items in a figure as mechanisms, structures, or preloaded structures. The solution uses Kutzbach's modification equation to calculate the mobility of 4 diagrams labeled (a) through (d). It determines that: (a) is a structure with 0 mobility. (b) is a mechanism with 1 mobility. (c) is a mechanism with 1 mobility. (d) is a mechanism with 3 mobility.
