Question: Problem 1 ( 2 0 points ) : Calculate the mobility of the linkages shown below. ( Hint: two of the mechanisms have 1 DoF,

Problem 1(20 points):
Calculate the mobility of the linkages shown below. (Hint: two of the mechanisms have 1DoF, one has zero, and one has three)
a.)
b.)
c.)
d.)
Problem 2(10 points):
Draw a kinematic diagram of each mechanism below, label the links and joints, and determine the mobility.
rrodiem 9(20 points):
Build one of the mechanisms from problem 1 using SolidWorks (select proportional dimensions) to confirm its mobility. Upload a screen shot of the finished assembly. (don't upload SolidWorks files)
Problem 4(10 points):
Take a picture of a real mechanism comprised of 5 or more links (that is, do not take a picture of a picture, but of an actual mechanism). Upload the picture as a separate file. Sketch the kinematic diagram and determine its mobility on engineering paper.
Suggested sources of mechanisms for this include gym equipment, car hood hinges (ignore springs), excavation equipment (but not identical to the bobcat above), Lazy-boy-type chairs.... please be creative and find something interesting.
