They have many different uses:
Raising or lowering a water bucket.
Telling the time by moving its cogwheels or gears.
Moving people from one place to another.
Entertaining children in a park by swinging.

All of them are made of mechanisms

Mechanisms are devices that transmit and/or
convert forces and motions from an input
element to an output element.
The aim of a mechanism is to make the tasks
easier with less effort and more comfort.

A lever is the simplest kind of mechanism. Common
examples of each type are the crowbar, the
wheelbarrow and the pair of tweezers.
Parts: The load is the object you are trying to move.
The effort is the force applied to move the load.
The fulcrum (or pivot) is the point where the load is pivoted.

All levers are one of three types, usually called
classes. The class of a lever depends on the
relative position of the load, effort and fulcrum T

It is a wheel that turns when a rope, belt or chain passes through a channel.
It rotates around an axle that is fixed
when you apply a force (F) to move up a load (R).

The more movable
pulleys, you have the
less effort you have to
apply

A pulley system is made up of two pulley wheels each
on a shaft, connected by a belt. This transmits rotary
motion and force from the driver pulley to the driven
pulley.
driven pulley rotates in the same direction driven pulley rotates in the opposite direction

Gears are wheels with teeth. Gears consist of
toothed wheels fixed to shafts. The teeth
interlock with each other, and as the first shaft
(the driver shaft) rotates, the motion is
transmitted to the second or driven shaft so they
are used to transmit movement between two
shafts.

A number of gears connected together are called a
gear system or gear train
They can also be moved with a chain. It´s also
called sprocket.

It’s a mechanism made up
(composed) of a gear and a worm
(threaded shaft). It’s a method of
making large speed reductions.
Each time the shaft spins one
revolution, the gear turns forward
by only one tooth.
The worm can drive the worm gear
round, but the worm gear cannot
drive the worm, so it’s used as a
breaking system. Worm gear, worm

The quotient of the speed/velocity is called the gear ratio.
The gear ratio also determines the amount of turning force or torque transmitted.

bar with teeth.
It is a reversible mechanism.

need to move the load.
