it can also be used as a lever, in which the ruler would be supported by the fulcrum, or the pivot point
incline plane
No, a thumb tack is not an inclined plane simple machine. An inclined plane is a flat surface that is tilted, like a ramp, that allows objects to be raised or lowered with less force. A thumb tack is a fastener that uses a sharp point to pierce through materials.
A handrail is considered a type of incline plane simple machine. It helps make it easier to move up or down stairs by providing a sloped surface to grasp onto for support.
The simple machine that does not change the direction of force is the inclined plane. It allows you to exert a force in one direction (up or down the incline) to move an object along the ramp without changing the direction of the force.
A knife could be a lever or wedge depending on what kind and how you use it. If it's just between lever and inclined plane its lever, NOT inclined plane
an incline plane

incline plane
incline plane
The incline plane is the simple machine that starts with an I. The other five are wheel and axle, wedge, lever, screw and pulley.
the screw
A screw is an example of the simple machine known as a wedge.
incline plane
Inclined plane. One of the six; screw, wedge, incline plane, pulley, wheel and axle, and lever.
The answer is wedge, because it has an inclined plane on the top and on the bottom.
screws, levers, wedges, wheel & axles, incline plane, gears, pulleys
you mean inclined plane? a simple machine (a plane at an incline) that uses gravity and slope to move objects. e.g.: a slide is an inclined plane. If it were horizontal, you wouldn't go anywhere.
