In the below figure, PC is the connecting rod and OC is the crank making an angle θ with the line of stroke PO and rotates with uniform angular velocity at ω rad/s. The Klien’s acceleration diagram for determining the acceleration of the piston P is shown by quadrilateral C Q NO, the acceleration of the piston is zero when the crank OC and connecting rod PC are at right angles to each other.

Correct
Incorrect
✅ The correct answer is option A.

The relation l = (j + 2) apply only to kinematic chains in which lower pairs are used. This may be used to kinematic chains in which higher pairs are used, but each higher pair may be taken as equivalent to

one lower pair and two additional links
two lower pairs and one additional link
two lower pairs and two additional links
any one of these
✅ The correct answer is option B.
