RS-232 is a Recommeded Standard (RS) for serial communications. It can be both input and output, or just one or the other. There are RS-232 devices called DCE (for Data Communications Equipment) like a printer, modem, mouse, joystick, monitor. There are RS-232 devices called DTE (for Data Terminal Equipment) like a notebook computer or tower. Two computers may talk to each other over an RS-232 link. The "boss" computer would be the DTE; the "slave" computer would be the DCE. {In practice, nobody really uses RS-232 for intra-computer linking in home or office, but it might be used for fairly long connections on, say, an antenna farm if fiber optics is unaffordable.}

What is the difference between output and input?If you sing into a microphone you can hear the microphone's output.Sound coming out of the power amp to the speakers.That is the input of the loudspeaker.Do you see the difference?Your voice is the microphone's input. Its output is electrical impulses that are input to the amplifier. The amplified impulses are the output of the amplifier and input to the speaker. Sound waves are output of the speaker and input to your ears.

What is the formula of each simple machine by getting the work exerted by the machine?

The formula for work exerted by each simple machine is: Lever: Work = Input force × Input distance = Output force × Output distance Inclined plane: Work = Input force × Input distance = Output force × Output distance Pulley: Work = Input force × Input distance = Output force × Output distance Wheel and axle: Work = Input force × Input radius = Output force × Output radius Wedge: Work = Input force × Input distance = Output force × Output distance Screw: Work = Input force × Input distance = Output force × Output distance
