“The subject Theory of Machines may be defined as that branch of Engineering-science, which deals with the study of relative motion between the various parts of a machine, and forces which act on them. The knowledge of this subject is very essential for an engineer in designing the various parts of a machine.”
Q. What is the machine answer?
A machine is a thing that is created by people to make work easier. It is a tool or invention which multiplies the effect of human effort. Often a machine will change one form of energy to another form of energy. Simple machines increase or change the direction of a force.

Q. What is the principle on which a machine works?
Principle of a Machine: The work output of a machine is equal to the work input. All machines work on the principle that when the effort is smaller than the load, it has to move a greater distance in order to achieve the same work.
Q. What is difference between mechanism and machine?
A mechanism is a group of links connected to each other by joints, to form a kinematic chain with one link fixed, to transmit force and motion. It is design to do a specific motion. A machine is an assemblage of links that transmits and/or transforms forces, motion and energy in a predetermined manner, to do work.
Q. What are the uses of machines?
Simple machines are useful because they reduce effort or extend the ability of people to perform tasks beyond their normal capabilities. Simple machines that are widely used include the wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, screw, wedge and lever.
Q. What are the different types of mechanism?

- 1 Kinematic pairs. 1.1 Links and joints.
- 2 Kinematic diagram.
- 3 Planar mechanisms.
- 4 Spherical mechanisms.
- 5 Spatial mechanisms.
- 6 Linkages.
- 7 Compliant mechanisms.
- 8 Cam and follower mechanisms.
Q. What is the difference between a linkage and a mechanism?
Links are connected at Joints. Joints may connect at least two to any number of links according to the mechanism designed. When different links are connected at joints, it forms a Chain. Thus the chain in which, links are connected at joints and at least one link is fixed is called Mechanism.
Q. What kind of linkage has 3 nodes?
The order of a link indicates the number of joints to which the link is connected (or the number of nodes per link). There are binary (2 nodes), ternary (3 nodes), and quaternary (4 nodes) links.
