An inclined plane for turning the corkscrew into the cork A lever and fulcrum for removing the corkscrew
A corkscrew primarily incorporates two simple machines: the inclined plane and the lever. The spiral design of the corkscrew acts as an inclined plane, allowing the user to apply force to drive the screw into the cork. Additionally, the handle of the corkscrew functions as a lever, enabling the user to exert greater force and torque to easily remove the cork from the bottle.
A compound machine is a machine that consists of more than one simple machine. Some compound machines consist of just two simple machines. You can read below about two examples—the wheelbarrow and corkscrew. Other compound machines, such as bicycles, consist of many simple machines.

A corkscrew is a type of screw, which is a simple machine. When the corkscrew is turned into a cork, it creates a mechanical advantage that helps to pull the cork out of the bottle more easily.
Simple machines are much easier to make than complex machines.
They do not. Simple machines reduce the effort used to do a task.
You use simple machines to make work (moving things) easier.
