Mechanical force

The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked.

As per the name, you can guess the meaning of this force.

A mechanical force is a force which is generated by a machine.

That’s it.

In physics, the definition of mechanical force can be stated as:

“A force generated by a machine is known as a Mechanical Force“

To understand the above statement properly,

Let’s take some Real Life examples. (So you’ll get an exact idea)

Examples

Drilling

Here, a hole is made into the wood using a drill machine

In order to make a hole, a drill machine generates some amount of force.

This type of force which is generated by a machine is known as a Mechanical Force.

Sharpening

Here, a pencil is sharpened using a pencil sharpener.

In order to sharpen a pencil, a pencil sharpener generates some amount of force.

This type of force which is generated by a machine is known as a Mechanical Force.

Mixing

Here, some vegetables are mixed into a mixer grinder.

In order to mix the vegetables, a mixer grinder generates some amount of force.

This type of force which is generated by a machine is known as a Mechanical Force.

Cutting

Here, a scissor is used to cut a piece of paper.

In order to cut a paper, a scissor generates some amount of force.
