Answer:

1. A clock with internal mechanical parts comprises a system because it is a combination of various parts that a heterogeneous in nature and function working together to achieve one end - indicating the time accurately.

Some mechanical clocks comprise of at least 10 parts namely:

  • Gear train: This component alone is a sub-system that comprises of at least 8 parts. These parts are broadly classified into wheels, pinions, and barrels.
  • Main Spring
  • Pallet
  • Escapement
  • Escapement Wheel
  • Barrell
  • Barrell Wheel
  • Balance Spring etc

2. A clock is a non-living system.

Living systems have certain characteristics. Some of them are:

  • Stimuli: Response to the environment
  • Growth and development: The are able to increase in size and dimensions
  • Homeostasis: this is the capability of self-regulation regardless of external conditions such as temperature and pressure.   etc

3. A cannot support a living system. It can however help a human being (which is essentially a combination of various systems) to tell the time.

4. a system is a combination of heterogeneous parts that work in unison to form a whole complex entity that can perform one or more functions.
