Depending on how it is used:
A wedge: to spear, or slide under food, in preparation for picking it up;
A Lever: when using it to actually pick the food up.
a fork is a lever. There is a load end (where the food sits), a fulcrum or pivot (the finger the fork rests on) and the force (the finger that pushes down on the top of the fork to hold it level)
Haha.
I'm glad you asked.
The answer is: A Wedge.
Reason/Definition:Wedge: A wedge is a simple machine that is really a type of inclined plane in a type of way I can't explain.
How a 'Wedge' works: Wedges are used to cut other objects such as; Fruits, veggies, or even plastic. It actually depends
The cutting edge would be classified as a wedge and the handle would be classified as a lever, making it a complex machine.
A knife is a wedge. A knife is an example of the simple machines known as wedges.
there is a wedge (in the blades) an screw (in the screw used to hold peices together) and a 1st class lever (the piviot on the screw aka the fulcrum) I think that's it.
A knife as a simple tool is a lever. Specifically, it acts as a second class lever.
A knife is actually a compound machine as it is both a wedge (the cutting edge) and a lever (as it is normally used in cutting things).
It is a lever, with the pivot point being the fulcrum and the fingers being at one end of the lever.
