    This document discusses four simple machines: pulleys, which use a grooved wheel and rope to lift objects using less effort; levers, which are rigid bars pivoted on a fulcrum to apply force to lift loads like seesaws and pliers; inclined planes, which are ramps at an angle to move objects to different levels; and tools that use these simple machines like hammers, saws, and screwdrivers to help workers in tasks.

    SIMPLE MACHINES

    1. Pulleys
    2. Levers
    3. Inclined planes
    4. Tools

    1. Pulleys:
    A pulley is a simple machine with a grooved
    wheel around which a rope or chain is placed. A
    pulley can help us to lift or lower an object with
    less effort.

    2. Levers:
    A lever is a rigid bar that is pivoted on a fixed
    point called a fulcrum. Force is applied to one end
    of the bar while an object is put at the other end.
    The object is called the load.
    Examples:
     Seesaw
     Pliers
     Nutcrackers
    3. Inclined planes:
    An inclined plane is a ramp put at an angle to the
    horizontal. It is used to move heavy objects up or down
    to different levels.

    4. Tools:
    A tool is a machine used by carpenters, electricians,
    mechanics and other workers.
    Carpenters use saws, hammers and staplers.
    Mechanics use spanners and screwdrivers.

    Hammer-simple
    Staplers- compound machine
