A machine is any man-made material structure with various moving parts that use energy to perform work. Machines are designed to reduce or replace the muscular or mental work of humans in accomplishing particular tasks. Simple machines include the lever, pulley, wheel and axle, wedge, and screw. Complex machines include clocks, computers, washers and dryers, refrigerators, and automobiles.
