List of compound machines?
Compound machines are made up of two or more of the simple machines. These include pulleys, wedges, levers, wheels and axles, screws and gears, and inclined planes. Examples of compound machines include staplers, can openers, bicycles, and wheelbarrows.
What are two or more simple machines called?
There are six simple machines: Inclined Plane Wedge Screw Pulley Wheel Lever The two classes of simple machines are: 1. The simple machines that deal with vector quantities like velocity and force (the inclined plane, the wedge and the screw). 2. The simple machines that deal with torque (the force to rotate an object around an axis, pivot, etc.) like the pulley, the wheel, the lever. You would think a screw falls into the torque class, but it's classified as a helical inclined plane.
