Xerox photocopying machines used to be more sensitive to some colors than to others. In particular, they were insensitive to blue and certain felt tipped markers using blue ink could be used and their marks would not be copied by photocopy machines.
Traditionally, editor's pencils were blue and so their markings could "disappear" from copies of marked-up proofs.
However, modern photocopy machines, especially the ones that copy in color, must be equally sensitive to blue as to other colors or their output would be generally unacceptable. So "disappearing blue" is much less common now.
No, it's a compound machine.
A pencil sharpener is a compound machine made up of simple machines, like the screw and lever.
A pencil can be considered a compound machine, as it is made up of multiple simple machines working together. These simple machines include a wedge (the pencil tip for writing), a lever (the pencil body for holding and applying force), and possibly a wheel and axle (if the pencil has an eraser at one end). The combination of these simple machines allows the pencil to perform its function efficiently.
A pencil sharpener is an example of a simple machine known as a wedge. The blade inside the sharpener is shaped like a wedge, which helps to cut and shape the pencil tip when it is inserted and rotated.
Yes, a pencil sharpener is considered a simple machine because it has few moving parts and helps to make work easier by applying a single force to perform a specific task.
i doubt it
No, it's a compound machine.
it can be used as part of a machine. while it in itself is really not a machine.
A regular pencil is considered an instrument, a mechanical pencil may be considered a simple machine , in that it has moving parts that rotate, and move up and down.

paper and pencil
yes it is.
