Now, Im going to talk more about mechanism.

This are some few examples on Mechanisms terms:

LINEAR MOTION - motion in a straight line eg. the motion of a train

ROTARY MOTION - circular motion eg. the motion of a bicycle wheel

RECIPROCATING MOTION - repeating backwards and forwards motion eg. the motion of a piston in a car engine

OSCILLATING MOTION - repeating forwards and backwards circular motion eg. the motion of a clock pendulum

EQUILIBRIUM - a state of balance when both sides are equal

FULCRUM - pivot, a point about which things rotate

LINKAGES - two or more levers connected to produce a desired motion
