1It is a body assumed not to suffer any deformation by the forces that may act on it.
Rigid Body
2A branch of mechanics which studies rigid bodies at rest.
Statics
3It is equals to mass times acceleration.
Force
4Transmit energy through contact between their teeth.
Gear
5It is a mechanical device that converts rotary motion into linear motion, or vice versa.
Driver and Follower
6In mechanisms is a process of changing the fixed link in a kinematic chain to obtain a new mechanism.
Inversion of Pairs
7It is often used to convert rotary motion into linear motion with high precision.
Lead Screw and Nut
8A linear element with teeth that mesh with the teeth of the gear.
Gear and Rack
9This type of contact provides a high degree of constraint and precision.
Closed/Lower Pair
10This type of contact provides less constraint and precision than lower pairs, but it can allow for more complex relative motions.
Higher Pair
11Which term is used to describe an intermediate connector that is rigid and capable of both pushing and pulling, like the connecting rod of a steam engine?
Link
12What is the primary characteristic of a connector referred to as a "band"?
Flexibility
13This mode of transmission involves the use of electromagnetic fields to transfer energy between the two elements.
Electromagnetism
14Connections between two elements that allow them to move relative to each other in a constrained way, but does not fully constrain their motion.
Incomplete Pairs of Elements
15The number of inversions of a kinematic chain is ______ to the number of links in the chain.
