Note: Attempt all questions and submit the assignment by 21-04-2025 (Monday);
Maximum points: 100 (each question carries equal points)

1. What is instantaneous centre of rotation? How do you know the number of instan-
taneous centres in a mechanism?. State and prove Kennedy’s theorem as applicable
to instantaneous centres of rotation of three bodies. How is it helpful in locating
various instantaneous centres of a mechanism?. State and explain angular-velocity-
ratio theorem as applicable to mechanisms. What do you mean by centrode of a
body? What are its types? What are fixed centrode and moving centrode/ axode?
