Also known as mechanical power
mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force
A simple machine is a basic mechanical device that changes either the direction of a force you apply or how much force you need to accomplish a task. Simple machines like levers, pulleys, and ramps matter because they make work easier by allowing you to use less effort or apply force in a more convenient direction.
