The scissors as a whole would be a lever, but the blades in particular are wedges - an inclined plane if you will.
The scissors' blades are sharpened into wedges, and the arms that are squeezed together are levers.

What simple machines are in scissors?
Scissors are compound machines. These scissors have fulcrum wedges and levers.wedge and a leverA scissor is a form of a simple lever.The loadforce is at the blade end - paper.The fulcrum is usually a screw,and the effort force is on the handles.scissors have more than one simple machine making it a complex machine and it has a wedge as well as a lever since it has a fulcrum to hold them togetherA pair of scissors is a combination of two wedges, acting in opposite directions, connected to a lever.A pair of scissors is a compound machine.pendulumwhat type of simple machine is scissors? there a tickle machineLeverWedgefirst class lever and wedgeTwo levers together.a scisor is a lever( first order).it has two levers on one fulcrum.a scisor is a lever( first order).it has two levers on one fulcrum.the 'machines' in scissors are simply a pivot and two closely placed blades which when brushed past one another perform a cutting manouvreThe two arms that you squeeze together are levers.The cutting edges of the scissor blades are sharpened to be wedgesFirst class machineThe lever is used in the scissor.lever screw wedge and an inclined planeit is a leverA pair of scissors consists of two levers fastened together on a fulcrum or pivot on which the levers rotate.A pair of scissors consists of two levers fastened together on a fulcrum or pivot on which the levers rotate.I have no idea, sorry.The main simple machines in use by scissors are levers. You push and pull (in a sense) on one end of each crossed lever to create the up and down motions. This creates a straight slice in the object you are cutting.Lever- fulcrum located between the input and output force. (First-Class Levers).Wedge- V-shaped object whose sides are two inclined planes sloped toward each other.I'm not that sure.. I read my science book and that's what the book says :)..

What simple machines are in a snowboard?
The wheel and axle are easily spotted on any skateboard. It could be argued that there is a lever created by the deck and the axle assembly because of the way the truck works. The truck supports the axle hanger on a "pillow" or "cushion" (a pair of bushings, grommets or rubbers -- you choose your own term), usually made of an elastomer, which allows the hanger (the part that the axle runs through) to move relative to the base of the truck, and, therefore, the deck. The wheels spin on the axles, as is intuitively obvious. The line of the axle is parallel to the flat surface of the deck when the deck is not loaded. When a skateboarder rides the deck, however, the deck can be tilted via the lever action. The line of the axle remains parallel to flat ground, but the plane of the deck tilts to one side or the other. The fulcrum is the fastener (the bolt, called a kingpin) that holds the axle assembly (the hanger) onto the base of the truck. The load is the "resistance" of the bushings. The lever is a 2nd class one, by the way, like a wheel barrow, and not a 1st class one, like a claw hammer being used to pull a nail.
What are tongs used for on an oil rig?
making and or serving dinner, just like anywhere else That was a pretty inane answer. Tongs are the very large tools used on a derrick to tighten and loosen the drill pipes and collars etc . They are usually manipulated by the roustabouts during pipe changes or additions. Imagine a pair of grips that are at least 5 feet long and are tensioned by a winch operated by the driller on an oil rig "floor" . Most times a chain is used to do the initial tightening of the pipe joint but Tongs are needed for the final pinch up torques need to keep the keep the joint toght.
