Question:medium

In a given mechanism, the number of links are five. Then the number of instantaneous centres of the mechanism is

Show Hint

This formula counts how many unique pairs you can make from $n$ items. For common mechanisms, the number of I-centers increases rapidly as links are added: - 4 links $\rightarrow$ 6 I-centers - 5 links $\rightarrow$ 10 I-centers - 6 links $\rightarrow$ 15 I-centers
