100
The ratio of the output force (acting on a load) produced by a machine to the applied effort (the input force).
What is a mechanical advantage?
100
a system of elements that interact on mechanical principles
What is a mechanical system?
100
A wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes. It acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is chiefly used (typically in combination) to raise heavy weights.
What is a pulley?

Automation is the use of control systems and information technologies reducing the need for human intervention.
What is automated systems?
100
Intellectual asset logistics (getting the right information to the right person at the right time).
What is increasing productivity?
200
The action of one surface or object rubbing against another.
What is friction?
200
a person trained to design and construct machines.
What is a mechanical engineer?
200
A system of parts working together in a machine; a piece of machinery.
What is a mechanism?
200
They are somewhat the opposite of mechanical systems. The difference being that mechanical systems are systems such as robots, conveyer belts...etc. and non mechanical systems are systems such as school system, or health care system, there is also a government system as well.
What is non-mechanical systems?
200
the production of large quantities of a standardized article (often using assembly line techniques).
What is mass production?
300
A coherent, typically large body of matter with no definite shape.
What is mass?
300
The usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization.
What is technology?
300
A rigid bar resting on a pivot, used to help move a heavy or firmly fixed load with one end when pressure is applied to the other.
What is lever?
300
Quantitative research refers to the systematic empirical investigation of social phenomena via statistical, mathematical or computational techniques.
What is quantitative assessment?
300
A set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular.
What is a system?
400
The strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.
What is energy?
400
Put (data) into a computer
What is input?
400
The point on which a lever rests or is supported.
What is fulcrum?
400
productiveness: the quality of being productive or having the power to produce.
What is productivity?
400
An action designed to achieve this.
What is efficiency?
500
A body's relative mass or quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
What is weight?
500
Produce, deliver, or supply (data) using a computer or other device.
What is output?
500
Any of the basic mechanical devices for applying a force, such as an inclined plane, wedge, or lever.
What is simple machines?
500
25 collects data that does not lend itself to quantitative methods but rather to interpretive criteria or descriptions rather than numbers.
What is qualitative assessment?
500
A septic system other than a conventional gravity system or pressure distribution system.
What is an alternative system?
