Simple Machines[edit]

Simple machines are used to make things easier like lifting a heavy box,for example.
Here are the 6 types of simple machines:
The Six Types Of Simple Machines

 Lever.
 Pulley.
 Wheel and axle.
 Screw.
 Inclined plane.
 Wedge.

A machine (or mechanical device) is a mechanical structure that uses power to

apply forces and control movement to perform an intended action. Machines can be driven
by animals and people, by natural forces such as wind and water, and by chemical, thermal,
or electrical power, and include a system of mechanisms that shape the actuator input to achieve
a specific application of output forces and movement. They can also include computers and
sensors that monitor performance and plan movement, often called mechanical systems.
Renaissance natural philosophers identified six simple machines which were the elementary
devices that put a load into motion, and calculated the ratio of output force to input force, known
today as mechanical advantage.[1]
Modern machines are complex systems that consist of structural elements, mechanisms and
control components and include interfaces for convenient use. Examples include a wide range
of vehicles, such as automobiles, boats and airplanes, appliances in the home and office,
including computers, building air handling and water handling systems, as well as farm
machinery, machine tools and factory automation systems and robots.
