Answer: c.

Explanation: in a reciprocating steam engine, piston, piston rod and crosshead constitute one link ; connecting rod with big and small end bearings constitute a second link ; crank, crank shaft and flywheel a third link and the cylinder, engine frame and main bearings a fourth link.

A is correct. Because flywheel remains to fix on crank shaft with help of key, and no has relative motion each other. C answer wrong.

The correct answer is A.

Each part of a machine which moves relative to some other part, is known as a kinematic link. The piston and cylinder in a steam engine, form a pair and the motion of the piston is limited to a definite direction relative to the cylinder irrespective of the direction of motion of the crank.

Please explain the answer.

I'm confused with option A.

Why not opt A?

Please, anyone explain.

John said:   8 years ago
I think option (A) will be the answer.

Kinematic link which every part of machine is having a some "RELATIVE MOTION" to other part.
