3. Diagnose whether the technical system under study complies with the law of integrity

Reaching the conclusion that four elements are responsible for the realization of FPU requires a critical analysis of the technical system under consideration. The corollaries to the law of integrality are as follows:

• each element must play a full part in the smooth running of the system;

• at least one of the parts must be controllable to accommodate variations in the control element.

With these corollaries in mind, you need to identify whether each component is fulfilling its intended role. In the example of the hammer, does the grip part of the handle effectively transform muscular energy into mechanical driving energy? The answer is no! There are losses due to the fact that the immobilization assumed by the user's hand is not total. This raises the question of the possible...
