If you fix (freeze) the P1 joint between bodies 2 and 1 then 3 cannot roll on 4, so 3 and 4 cannot move and
M = F in this mechanism If 4 cannot move, neither 5 or 6 will move Since only one P1 was eliminated to
make this mechanism into a structure we have M = 1 M and F in this mechanism

This mechanism is already a structure so M = 0 To see this consider the four bar mechanism of links 1, 2, 3
and 4 which moves with 1 degree-of-freedom We see that as this four bar moves, 6 gets get pulled and it slips
(drags) along 1 The problem is that as 6 makes this motion 5 cannot maintain a sliding contact with it So
there is no relative movement between 6 and 5 Consequently the four bar mechanism does not move and the
mechanism does not move M = F for this mechanism

cannot move either In fact, 2 will either be too long or too short, making this system a statically indeterminate
structure Since no P1 joint needs to be frozen to make this a structure, M = 0 In this mechanism M 6= F
and M > F because the structure is statically indeterminate

The system is moveable If you push 3 to the left, you see that 2 will move up If you freeze the P1 joint
between 3 and 1, then 2 is now longer moveable, so M = 1 M 6= F , and M > F The explanation for this is
as follows The development of Gruebler’s Criterion assumes that every body in the system has the potential
of a rotational degree-of-freedom But, when the system consists entirely of sliding joints, as in this case, this
rotational degree-of-freedom is not possible Gruebler’s Criterion as developed is not applicable to this system

F = 3(N − 1) − 2P1− P2= 3(6 − 1) − 2(6) − 0 = 3
If we freeze the P1 joint between 1 and 6, 6 is immobilized, but the rest of the mechanism still moves If we
continue and freeze the P1 joint between 1 and 2, 2 is immobilized, but 1, 3 and 4 continue to be moveable
If we then freeze the P1 joint between 1 and 2, then 3 and 4 are also immobilized and the system becomes a
structure Thus M = 3 and M = F
Problem 1.24
The figure below shows a pair of gears in mesh The smaller gear is referred to as the “pinion” and the larger
gear is referred to as the “gear.” Typically, the pinion is the driver and the gear is driven Since the pinion is
smaller than the gear, the gear rotates slower than the pinion, but the torque is increased Generally speaking,
that is the purpose of a gear pair, to reduce speed and to increase torque This is because most prime movers
(motors, engines etc.) run at high speeds but produce relatively low torques You will see all this later when
we study gears
What type of joint must exist between these two gear teeth so that the system is movable, with one dof?

If we neglect the contact in question, we have N = 3, P1= 2, P2= 0 and then
F = 3(N − 1) − 2P1− P2= 3(3 − 1) − 2(2) − 0 = 2
so in order that F = 1, the contact between a pair of gear teeth must be a slipping contact
