Is a fork a simple or a compound machine?

A fork is considered a simple machine, specifically a type of lever. It consists of a rigid beam (the handle) that pivots on a fulcrum (the point where the fork tines meet the handle) to apply force. While it is designed for a specific task, such as lifting or holding food, it does not combine multiple simple machines, which would classify it as a compound machine.
