Simple Machines (engineering)
A simple machine is a mechanical device that can help you change the force applied to help do more work easier. There are six simple machines: Wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw.

What simple machines are used in gymnastics equipment?
a simple incline is used in gymnastics- a "cheese wedge" i think a spring board qualifies as well
What are six types of complex machines?
A complex, or compund machine is anything that uses more than one simple machine at the same time.
Which means that there's no limit to how many complex Machines there are.
wedge
What simple machines make up a bulldozer?
the bulldozer works on many mechanisms and governors.
the mechanisms used is the slider crank mechanism and crank-crank mechanism
it uses hartung governor
Why is the mechanical efficiency of most compound machines lower than most simple machines?
It is lower because compound machines have more moving parts that a simple machine does.
1. 1 By changing the oil regularity
2. 2 By cleaning the machine
3. 3 By not putting water on the machines
What type of simple machines is clothesline?
a clothesline is considered to be a pulley, because it has a wheel and a rope around it.
All simple machines are variations of which two basic machines?
as you'll see the pulley and wheel and axle are modified forms of the lever, and the screw and wedge are modified forms of the incline plane.
The work ouput of the second machine will usually be more than the work input of the first machine.
Will future thinking machines force us to redefine living?
yes because humans are becoming more and more lazy
Explain efficiency and how to calculate it for different simple machines?
Efficiency means to calculate that is the machine is efficient enough to save your bill or use less electricity. To calculate the formula is:
Efficiency = Energy output (what is the machine producing) divided by Energy input (what is the machine taking or using).
What are the characteristics of simple machines?
THE CHARACTERISTICS OF SIMPLE MACHINE:
1.wheel and axle
2.lever
3.pulley
4.screw
5.wedge
6.indined plane
