an inclined plane wrapped around a cylindrical post is a screw
This is a screw. By rotating the inclined plane, also known as the thread, around the center post, the screw can be used to fasten objects together or lift loads with less effort compared to using a simple machine like a lever.
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
No, a teeter totter is not an inclined plane. It is a simple machine known as a lever, which rotates around a central fulcrum. When one end of the lever goes up, the other end goes down.
A broom can be considered as an inclined plane due to the slanted position of its handle, which allows for easier sweeping. It can also be seen as a first-class lever when used to apply force to pivot around a fulcrum in order to lift debris.
They are both the same because they are divided by the length of incline or screw to get the correct answer.
It is an inclined plane wrapped around a wedge. an inclined plane is a lever.
Yes, it is a type of lever. More specifically it is called a screw.
No...a screw is really an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder
the inclined plane.
There are only 6 simple machines: pulley, lever, inclined plane, wheel and axle, wedge and screw. Since a screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a central core, that would be its turning point. A wheel turns about an axle, a pulley turns about its center, and a wedge is a dual sided inclined plane. A lever must rotate about a fulcrum to be a lever, so that just leaves: Inclined plane. Its mechanical advantage is length over height, with no turning point needed.
A wedge and a lever.
They are types of screws which are actually inclined planes that curve around the outside of a rod and the interior of a cylinder. Instead of anchoring into a surface, a bolt passes through a hole and is locked in place by the nut. At its most basic, it is an inclined plane. That inclined plane formed by the threads of the bolt is wrapped around an axle and the nut provides a mechanical advantage by being a lever (The force arm is the nut's radius). The lever can be extended (a wrench) to provide greater mechanical advantage.

No. There is no pivot in an inclined plane.
