Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The line of thrust in a pin-jointed mechanism can be tangential to the friction circles at the ends, along the friction axis, and inclined to the axis of the link by an angle known as the angle of friction. All these descriptions are correct depending on the specific conditions and assumptions made in the analysis of the mechanism.
