Simple machines are devices that can make a tough job easier by enabling a person to apply less force or to apply force in a direction that is easier to manipulate. There are six types of simple machines: lever, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, screw, and wheel and axle. Each machine affects the direction or the amount of effort needed to do work. Most mechanical machines, such as automobiles or power tools, are made up of hundreds of parts. However, no matter how complex a machine is, it is composed of some combination of these six simple machines.
