Simple machines are basic mechanical devices that change the direction or magnitude of a force. They are foundational components in the study of mechanics and physics. There are six classical types of simple machines, each with its specific function: 1. **Lever**: A rigid bar that rotates around a fixed point called the fulcrum. Levers can amplify force or change the direction of the force, making it easier to lift or move objects.
