Download Solution PDFConcept:
The instantaneous centre method of analysing the motion in a mechanism is based upon the concept that any displacement of a body having motion in one plane, can be considered as a pure rotational motion of a rigid link as a whole about some centre, known as an instantaneous centre.
The number of instantaneous centres in a considered kinematic chain is equal to the number of combinations of two links:
If N is the number of instantaneous centres and n is the number of links then:
Calculation:
Given:
n = 10
∴
