Activity.Let us look at the kind of movement allowed by a hinge. Make a cylinder with cardboard or thick chart paper, as shown in figure. Attach a small pencil to the cylinder by piercing the cylinder at the centre, as shown. Make a hollow half cylinder from cardboard such that the rolled up cylinder cati fit inside it easily. The hollow half cylinder with the rolled up cylinder sitting inside it, allows movement like a hinge. Try to move the rolled up cylinder. How does it move?
How is this movement different from what we saw with our constructed ball and socket joint?
