Mechanical Advantage
Mechanical
-of or relating to machinery or tools
-working or produced by machines or machinery.
-the working parts of a machine
Mechanical Advantage = load/effort
Simple machines apply mechanical advantage to typically move an output force (load) with an input force (effort), less than that of the output force.
Mechanical Energy
In the physical sciences, mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
Mechanical Systems
A mechanical system manages power to accomplish a task that involves forces and movement.
forces
strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.
opposing force
