Mechanisms

WHAT IS A MECHANISM?

The moving parts of a bicycle are examples of everyday mechanisms that make life easier and more enjoyable. There is because they transmit and transform force and motion. All or these mechanisms require an imput force (Our leg muscles ,in the case of a bicycle) 

Mechanisms transmit motion and force to receptors that finally perform the work; this is the output force and motion.
This transmission and transformation lets us perform different types of work with more comfort and less effort.
