1.2 CLASSIFICATION OF MECHANISMS, 1.3 CONSERVATION OF ENERGY AND WORK IN MECHANISMS

1.2. Classification of mechanisms

We can classify mechanisms by the work that they do and how they function.

-Transmition of motion.

-Transformation of motion.

-Motion control.

-Energy accumulation.

-Connection.

1.3. Conservation of energy and work in mechanisms.

 Mechanisms seem to increase force, but they can't create energy on their own. All mechanisms produce the same amount of work tht is done to them.
