Types of simple machines
Wedge
Definition = wedge, in mechanics, a device that tapers to a thin edge, usually made of metal or wood and used for splitting, lifting, or tightening, as to secure a hammer head onto its handle.
Examples -Examples include knives and anything with a blade, like scissors and saws, axes, nails,
screw
Definition = form of turret lathe usually having a hollow spindle through which a bar can be fed to be machined into bolts, studs, and other screws or any small repetition work (as handles or spindles)
Examples

Drill Machine.
Bolt.
Bottle Caps.
Faucets.
Car Jack.
Inclined plane
Examples
ladder.
sidewalk curb ramp.
slanted roof.
slide.
stairs.
wheelchair ramp.
Definition -inclined plane, a simple machine consisting of a sloping surface, used for raising heavy bodies. The force required to move an object up the incline is less than the weight being raised, discounting friction. The steeper the slope, or incline, the more nearly the required force approaches the actual weight.
Definition - A simple machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge or fulcrum. A lever is a rigid body capable of rotating on a point on itself. On the basis of the locations of fulcrum, load, and effort, the lever is divided into three types.
Lever
Examples = Teeter-totters, wheelbarrows, scissors, pliers, bottle openers, mops, brooms, shovels, nutcrackers and sports equipment like baseball bats, golf clubs and hockey sticks.
Wheel and axel
Definition =The wheel and axle is a type of simple machine used to make tasks easier in terms of manipulating force by applying the concept of mechanical advantage. The wheel and axle consist of a round disk, known as a wheel, with a rod through the center of it, known as the axle. ... The wheel and axle both rotate at the same rate.
Examples =
Ferris Wheel. ...
Electric Fan. ...
Analog Clock. ...
Windmill. ...
Pizza Cutter. ...
Drill.
Puley
Defination =A pulley is a simple machine that consists of a rope and a grooved wheel. The rope fits into the groove in the wheel and pulling the rope turns the wheel. Pulleys are commonly used to lift objects, especially heavy objects. The object lifted by a roller is called a load.
Example =
Exercise Equipment. ...
Theatre Curtains. ...
