Is a washing machine a simple machine?

Answer 1

A simple machine is a closed mechanical system that changes the direction and/or the magnitude of a force using only the work and energy supplied by the operator. A lever is an example of a simple machine, and so is a pulley.

.

A clothes line - the kind that has a loop of cable bound by one pulley at each end - is a simple machine. As you pull one side of the loop toward you, the other side of the loop moves away from you, thanks to the action of the pulleys. Since you are doing all the work (there is no motor or other source of energy), this reversal of direction qualifies as a simple machine.
