mechanical
Significado: Relating to machines, physical forces, or the branch of physics concerned with motion and forces. Also describes actions performed without thought or as if by a machine.
Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering disciplines, covering the design and manufacture of everything from tiny watch components to massive industrial machinery. In everyday language, 'mechanical' can describe automatic, unthinking behaviour — a 'mechanical response' lacks genuine feeling. A 'mechanical fault' in a vehicle refers to a problem with its physical components rather than its electronics. The word collocates commonly with 'engineering,' 'failure,' 'advantage,' and 'properties.'
