| Machine | Device that makes doing work easier by increasing the force applied to an object, changing the direction of an applied force, or increasing the distance over which a force can be applied.
🗑
|
||||
| Input Force | The force that is applied to the machine.
🗑
|
||||
| Output Force | The force applied by the machine.
🗑

| Wheel & Axle | Simple machine that consists of a shaft or axle attached to the center of larger wheel, so that the shaft & the wheel rotate together.
🗑
|
||||
| Inclined Plane | Simple machine that consists of a sloping surface, such as a ramp, that reduces the amount of force needed to lift something by increasing the distance over which the force is applied.
🗑
|
||||
| Screw | Simple machine that consists of an inclined plane wrpped in a spiral around a cylindrical post.
🗑
|
||||
| Wedge | Simple machine that is an inclined plane with one or two sloping sides.
