      Do you believe a ball is a mechanical system?

      You can have a manual input to a mechanical system. For example, pulling a lever to operate a machine.

      The typical distinction is whether it uses and translates the input through various mechanisms. Moving a shutter with your thumb is not a mechanical shutter.

      Flipping a switch or pushing a button to do same thing could be. The manual input is translated to a separate output instead of the person providing the energy directly.

      Did I explain this middle school vocabulary lesson to your satisfaction?

          🤷‍♂️

          You can show them where it is, but you can’t make the jackasses drink the water.

          Y’all have fun sharpening your mechanical pencils.
