A simple machine is a mechanical device that changes the direction or magnitude of a force. Simple machines are fundamental tools that help us perform work more efficiently. There are six classical types of simple machines: 1. **Lever**: A rigid bar that pivots around a point called the fulcrum. It can be used to amplify force or change the direction of an applied force. 2. **Inclined Plane**: A flat surface that is tilted at an angle to the horizontal.
