Simple machines are extremely important to everyday life. They make stuff that is normally difficult a piece of cake. There are several types of simple machines. The first simple machine is a lever. A lever consists of a fulcrum‚ load‚ and effort force. A fulcrum is the support. The placing of the fulcrum changes the amount of force and distance it will take in order to move an object. The load is the applied force. The effort force is the force applied on the opposite side of the load

Simple Machine Joemarie A. Martinez 1-D CE Simple machine Simple machines make work easier by multiplying‚ reducing‚ or changing the direction of a force. The scientific formula for work is w = f x d‚ or‚ work is equal to force multiplied by distance. Simple machines cannot change the amount of work done‚ but they can reduce the effort force that is required to do the work! As you can see by this formula‚ if the effort force is reduced‚ distance is increased. These simple machines fall
