Absolutely. four of the most basic machines do exactly that.

A lever increases the force you exert by how close the fulcrum is to the object being move, and how far the applied force is away from the fulcrum.

A screw transfers rotational force (torque) to a lifting force, and increases that force based on the pitch of the threads.

A wedge increases lifting force based upon the pitch of the wedge from horizontal.

A pulley, when using more than one, will increase the applied force, on an order of magnitude equal to the number of pulleys used.

**Note: the total work applied equals the total work transmitted less friction. The force applied times the acceleration equals the work, the machines reduce the acceleration to increase the force transmitted.

What is the force you exert on a machine?

2 forces are always involved when using a machine. * Effort Force - FE - the force applied to a machine. * Resistance Force - FR -the force applied by a machine.


What is the force a machine exert?

The force that the machine exerts is the out put force. This is the science definition.


What is the input force and output force of a wheel and axle?

Input force is the force you put in to a machine. Output force is a force exerted by a machine. You exert input force on the wheel and when the axle rotates it exert large output force.


How do machines make work easier?

A machine makes work easier by changing at least one of three factors. A machine may change the amount of force you exert, the distance over which you exert your force, or direction in which you exert your force.


Explain how machines make work easier if they do not decrease the amount of work you need to do?

A machine makes work easier by changing the amount of force you exert, the distance over which you exert your force, or the direction in which you exert your force.


Does a machine make work easier by multiplying force you exert?

yes


What is the advantages of a simple machine?

output force divide by the input force is the mechanical advantage of a simple machine.The output force is the force that is exerted by the machine on an object, and the input force is the force that we exert on a machine.


What is the force you exert when using a machine?

input force/effort force In physics, the force that you apply to something over time is "work".


What is a force you exert when using a machine?

input force/effort force In physics, the force that you apply to something over time is "work".


Who is greater the applied force or the force exerted by the machine?

That depends on whether the machine is designed to multiply force or distance. A machine designed to multiply distance will exert less force than was applied, and a machine designed to multiply force will exert the greater force over a shorter distance than force was applied to it. As for work, output work is always less than input work because some energy is lost in overcoming friction.


Mechanical advantage is defined as the number of times that a machine increases an applied force for a given machine which would always decrease the mechanical advantage of that particular machine?

To find the mechanical advantage of a simple machine divide output force by input force. (input force is the force that we exert on a machine, and output force is the force that is exerted by a machine).


When a simple machine increases the force you exert what other factors change?

The distance of the object
