Hello, a balance scale is lever since it has a flucrumor fixed point :) hope this helped
No, it is level to the ground, hence not an inclined plane. And mainly, it provides no mechanical advantage. To use Wikipedia's definition of a simple machine, a balance beam does not "chang[e] the direction or magnitude of a force" and is therefore not a simple machine.
A weighing scale is a type of lever, which is a simple machine. The torque applied to one end of the lever determines the amount of weight on the other end.
Handlebars are a lever because you put your weight upon them to balance.
A razor is a type of wedge, which is a simple machine that has a sharp edge to help cut through materials.
A doorstopper is a type of simple machine known as a wedge, which is used to hold a door open by creating a barrier. A rake is a type of simple machine known as a compound machine, comprised of multiple simple machines like levers and wedges. A windmill is a type of simple machine known as a wheel and axle, which converts wind energy into rotational motion. A slide is a type of simple machine known as an inclined plane, which allows objects or people to move between different levels.

a simple machine.
a phone isn't a simple machine stupid
A sink isn't any type of simple machine. It's just a container.

What type of simple machine is a bottle openerLever: Fulcrum, resistance, applied force.
That isn't a simple machine, it is a complex machine, made up of other simple machines.
