...particular devices, called the simple machines, which are used only to transfer energy. They are known as the lever, the pulley, the wheel and axle, the inclined plane, the screw, and the wedge. We must think of these simple machines as bodies that stand between the body that does the work and... | |

...which machines are put. 162. Simple Machines. Six simple machines are usually discussed in physics : the lever ; the pulley ; the wheel and axle; the inclined plane; the screw; and the wedge. Other machines are either modifications of one of these simple machines, or combinations of two or... | |
