Do you mean one that obeys SHM (simple harmonic motion)?

It will just basically, as it goes through its oscillation, transfer energy between potential energy and kinetic energy. There are other machines that use SHM, particularly in the field of electromagnetism, but they work on different princiapls, although still obey SHM.

What kind of simple machine is a dryer?

A dryer is an example of a machine that uses both thermal energy and mechanical energy to dry clothes. It doesn't fall into a specific category of simple machines like a lever or inclined plane.


What kind of simple machine is a ladder or a roof?

A ladder is considered a simple machine called an inclined plane because it allows for easier vertical movement by spreading the force needed over a longer distance. A roof is not typically classified as a simple machine as it does not have mechanical moving parts to transfer or reduce force.


What kind of simple machine is a cork?

A cork is not a simple machine. Simple machines are typically defined as basic mechanical devices that use energy to perform work, such as levers, pulleys, and inclined planes. A cork is a natural material used to seal bottles, with no mechanical components or moving parts to qualify it as a simple machine.

What kind of simple machine is a paddleboat?

A paddleboat is typically classified as a type of simple machine known as a wheel and axle. The rotation of the paddles (wheels) attached to the axles propels the boat through the water by transferring energy from the paddler's movement.
