Mechanical Energy as the Ability to Do Work. An object that possesses mechanical energy is able to do work. In fact, mechanical energy is often defined as the ability to do work. Any object that possesses mechanical energy-whether it is in the form of potential energy or kinetic energy-is able to do work.s already mentioned, the mechanical energy of an object can be the result of its motion (i.e., kinetic energy) and/or the result of its stored energy of position (i.e., potential energy). The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy.
A towel stretch is an effective way to stretch your psoas muscle. You can use a regular bath towel or a strap that's roughly the same length. To do the stretch, lie close to the edge of your bed on your stomach. Plant your outside foot on the floor and bend your other leg.

These muscles are responsible for helping you lift your leg and move your torso toward your thighs. If you experience a muscle cramp in the psoas area, a number of things could be to blame.Possible causes include muscle strain from overuse, not enough potassium or calcium in your blood, compression of the nerves in your hips, or not enough blood flow to the area.ossible causes include muscle strain from overuse, not enough potassium or calcium in your blood, compression of the nerves in your hips, or not enough blood flow to the area.
