1. Draw the kinematic inversions of the linkage below. Does it satisfy the Grashof Criterion? What is the mobility of the mechanism? Determine the maximum transmission angles, and the toggle angles if CD is the crank. What is the advance-to-return time ratio?



2. Draw the kinematic inversions of the linkage below. Does it satisfy the Grashof Criterion? What is the mobility of the mechanism?



3. The human arm is an open loop kinematic chain. Assuming the shoulder is the ground, what is the mobility of the human arm, including all joints down to the finger tips?
