Q.  
A planar mechanism has 8 links and 10 rotary joints. The number of degrees of freedom of the mechanism using Gruebler’s criterion is ______.


Answer & Explanation

Given:\r\n n=8\r\n j=10\r\nThe DOF is fiven by,\r\nDOF= 3(n - 1) - 2j\r\nDOF= 3(8-1) - 2*10\r\nDOF= 1

Thus correct option is: B.
