Mechanical Systems

I have learned a great deal of things doing the mechanical systems module. I learned mechanical systems is the concept of how many things such as gears, cams, axles, and levers. I learned a cam is a rotating sliding peice in a mechanical linkage. I learned a gear is a rotating machine part having cut teeth, which mesh with another toothed part in order to transmit torque. I learned an axle is a shaft on which a wheel rovolves around.I learned linkages are an assembly of links designed  to manage forces and movement. I can use the information I learned in this module to do things such as be a mechanic. Build things such as bikes. Build heavy machinery used in factories. These type of careers are on the rise. Mainly because the population is constantly increasing.
