    1. A universal joint (coupling) is considered a positive, mechanical connection between nonparallel rotating shafts. Explain the problem causing nonuniformity of motion transmission through this type of joint and hence explain the conditions required to obtain a constant velocity ratio between two shafts joined by a universal coupling. You should use suitable sketches to assist in your explanation.
