Yes, certainly. Look at the multiplicity of drive mechanisms, gears, drums, steering clutches, even specialized axles and differentials in some cases. Four arms might be ideal to conn a big Hammerhead!

yes, becouse it uses simple machines to work, so it is a complex machine, complex machines are a big machine made up of simple machines

When two or more simple machines are combined they form?

A complex machine.(I just did a school test on this and it said compound machine was correct, not complex)


Is a elevator a complex machine?

Yes a elevator is a complex machine because their are more than one simple machine on a elevator


Which simple machine is used in lifting a load with crane?

A crane utilizes a combination of simple machines, but the primary one involved in lifting a load is the pulley. The pulley system allows the crane to lift heavy loads with relatively less effort by applying force over a distance.


What is a complex machine?

A complex machine, also known as a compound machine, is a machine that is a combination of several simple machines.A simple machine is defined as a machine that makes work easier by modifying or transmitting force or motion.A simple machine would be a wheel and axle or a wedge and jackscrew.A complex machine would be a car or a drill.Machine - is a device that helps us do work (work is a force that acts on an object to make the object move. To get work, you multiply force by distance)A simple machine - is a tool or device made up of one basic machine (there are 6 simple machines screw, ramp/inclined plane, wedge, pulley, wheel and axele, and levers.)ex. of simple machines are: (screw - screw, hose nozzle, etc.) (inclined plane - slide, ramp etc. ) (wedge -chisel, knife, etc.) (pulley - crane, flagpole, etc.) (wheel and axle - door knob, steering wheel, bicycle wheel, etc.) (Lever - 1st class lever: see -saw, 2nd class leer: wheelbarrow, 3rd class Lever: hockey stick, broom, etc.)a Complex Machine - is a system in which simple machines all work together, parts of a complex machine that have just one function are called subsystems and often contain a simple machine.ex. of complex machines can be as simple as scissors, or as complicated as a lab topA complex machine is really 2 or more simple machines in one machineex.

What simple machines make up complex machines?

A complex machine is a machine using more than one simple machine for its operation. A bicycle is a complex machine, using a lever for steering (handlebars), wheel and axle, inclined plane (the threads on bolts), and a pulley (chain on sprockets).
