Two Revolute Joints

Question 7:
An adjustable slider drive mechanism consists of a crank-slider with an adjustable pivot, which can be
moved up and down
1. How many bodies (links) can be identified in this mechanism?
2. b. Identify the type (and corresponding number) of all kinematic joints.
3. c. What is the function of this mechanism and how will it be affected by moving the pivot point up
and down?
