the inclined plane.


What simple machine does not use a force load and a turning point to do work?

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.


What kind of simple machine is a nut and bolt?

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.


This is a simple machine composed of an inclined plane wrapped around a center post.?

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.
