Kinematics

Deals with relative motion of different parts without considering the force producing the motion .

Dynamics

It involves the calculation of forces impressed upon different parts of mechanism

Mechanism

A mechanism is a combination of rigid or restraining bodies so shaped and connected that they move upon each other with a definite relative motion.

Machine

A machine is a mechanism or a collection of mechanisms which transmits force from the source of power to the resistance to be overcome & thus perform a mechanical work

Kinematic Pair

A mechanism has been defined as a combination so connected that each moves with respect to each other. A clue to the behaviour lies in in the nature of connections known as kinetic pairs.

Lower Pairs

A pair is said to be a lower pair when the connection between two elements is through the area of contact.

Higher Pairs

A higher pair is defined as one in which the connection between two elements has only a point or line of contact

GYROSCOPE

A gyroscope is a device for measuring or maintaining orientation, based on the principles of conservation of angular momentum

GEAR BOX

A transmission or gearbox provides speed and torque conversions from a rotating power source to another device using gear ratios

DIFFERENTIAL

In automobiles and other wheeled vehicles, the differential allows each of the driving road wheels to rotate at different speeds.
