The relation between the number of links(l) and the number of binary joints(j) for a kinematic chain having constrained motion is given by j = 3/2 (l – 2). If the left hand side of this equation is greater than the right hand side, then the chain is
(a) locked chain
(b) completely constrained chain
(c) successfully constrained chain
(d) incompletely constrained chain
This question was addressed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.
My doubt is from Kinematic Chain in section Simple Mechanisms of Machine Kinematics
