Grashof's Law

Grashof's Law is a principle used in mechanical engineering, particularly in the design of linkages and mechanisms. It states that for a four-bar linkage to allow continuous rotation of one of its links, the shortest link must be opposite the longest link. In simpler terms, if you have a system with four connected parts, the arrangement allows for smooth movement only when the shortest and longest parts are positioned across from each other. This concept is crucial in creating efficient machines and mechanisms, ensuring they operate effectively and as intended.
