    Study Notes

    Mechanical Systems

    • Levers are classified into three categories: First, Second, and Third class
    • Levers have different mechanical advantages based on their design
    • Understanding levers and linkages is crucial for mechanical systems
    • Hands-on investigation with levers and linkages is important in learning their functions

    Pneumatics and Hydraulics

    • Mechanical advantage can be utilized using pneumatics and hydraulics
    • Syringes are used for practical investigations in pneumatics and hydraulics

    Graphical Communication

    • Free-hand sketching is a valuable skill in communication
    • 3D oblique projections and 2D working drawings are used to effectively communicate design ideas

    Types of Structures

    • Structures can be classified into three main types: shell, frame, and solid structures
    • Cell phone towers serve as a real-world example of structure applications

    Stiffening and Strengthening
