A shield can be considered a type of lever, specifically a first-class lever. In this context, the shield acts as the lever arm, allowing a person to apply force to deflect blows while also providing protection. It operates on the principle of balance, where the person's grip serves as the fulcrum, helping to distribute the force of impacts. Although not a traditional example of a simple machine, it embodies the lever's fundamental mechanics in its use.
