That science, or branch of applied mathematics, which treats of the action of forces on bodies.
The arrangement or relation of the parts of a machine; the parts of a machine, taken collectively; the arrangement or relation of the parts of anything as adapted to produce an effect; as, the mechanism of a watch; the mechanism of a sewing machine; the mechanism of a seed pod.
The series of causal relations that operate to produce an effect in any system; as, the mechanism of a chemical reaction.
Mechanical operation or action.
An ideal machine; a combination of movable bodies constituting a machine, but considered only with regard to relative movements.
