In terms of appearances, to some extend in terms of manufacture, and in terms of mechanical complexity and ease-of-use, a corkscrew most certainly is a simple mechanism: a single part of wound wire, with a sharpened tip at one end and a handle at the other; mechanical devices do not get much simpler than that.
However, if you were to analyse the forces within that corkscrew as it is wound into a cork, pulls the work out of the bottle, and is then wound out of the pulled cork, you'd probably find that the mathematics required to describe the physics of these seemingly simple processes, and the forces involved, to be astonishingly complex.
