A shovel primarily functions as a lever. The handle acts as the lever arm, allowing the user to lift and move soil or other materials with the blade acting as the load. While some shovels may incorporate elements of other simple machines, such as a wedge shape for cutting into the ground, its main operation is based on leverage.

Explain how a wedge and a screw are related to the inclined plane?
A wedge is a type of inclined plane that has two inclined surfaces meeting at a sharp edge. The screw is a type of inclined plane wrapped around a cylindrical shaft. Both the wedge and the screw utilize the principle of an inclined plane to multiply force and make it easier to perform tasks like splitting wood with a wedge or holding materials together with a screw.
What does a inclined plane have to do with a screw?
The thread running around the screw is an inclined plane. If you were to straighten it out, it would be an inclined plane. The screw itself can be considered a combination of wedge and inclined plane.
