Why we use Fuse? What is Factor of Safety?

Why we use fuse? It is so that in case of power fluctuations, our stablizer orElectrical appliance don't get damage. In place of that a dirt cheap fuse will sacrifice it's life and save everything else.

Similarity in Mechanical engineering, we learned about factor of safety. It is something like if a man is able to lift 20 kg then we say that he can lift 10 kg. ( Factor of safety is 20/10 i.e. 2). Also while designing machines we make one cheap component a little weaker compared to others and hence when machine will undergo damage then the expensive parts are safe and a cheaper component is sacrificed. 

It's logical and practice approach.
