The formula to calculate the Number of Joints in a Kinematic Chain is:
\[ j = \frac{3 \cdot L_n}{2} - 2 \]
The Number of Joints in a Kinematic Chain is a section of a machine used to connect one or more mechanical parts to another. The Number of Links in a Kinematic Chain is the total number of parts of a machine that move relative to some other part.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ j = \frac{3 \cdot 5}{2} - 2 = 5.5 \]
The Number of Joints in the Kinematic Chain is 5.5.
