What simple machine is a garden hose?

A garden hose can be considered a type of simple machine known as a lever. When using a hose, the user applies force at one end to create water pressure, allowing the hose to direct the flow of water to a specific area. The hose itself acts as a lever that amplifies the force exerted, making it easier to transport water over a distance. However, it's important to note that while it has lever-like qualities, a garden hose is more accurately described as a tool rather than a classic simple machine like a lever, pulley, or inclined plane.


What is the short tube at the end of a hose called?
