Question

Which of the following disciplines provides study of inertia forces arising from the combined effect of the mass and motion of the parts?

(a) theory of machines

(b) applied mechanics

(c) kinematics

(d) kinetics

I had been asked this question at a job interview.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Relation Between Linear Motion and Angular Motion topic in division Kinematics & Kinetics of Motion of Machine Kinematics

Answer 1

The correct choice is (d) kinetics

Easy explanation: The study of inertia forces arising from the combined effect of the mass and motion of the parts is called kinetics.

The study of relative motion between the parts of a machine is called kinematics.

The study of the relative motion between the parts of a machine and the forces acting on the parts is called theory of machines.
