TASK 20: Simple machines

Work can be very hard and we need a lot of energy for it sometimes. This is why we often use tools and machines. How can a lever make our work easier?

Just an example: You need less effort for lifting things, but the amount depends on the distance from the fulcrum.

If you use leveler instead of your bare hands, you can lift up cargo much easier and more.

you don't need to be strong, you just have to use your head. Like the legend of Aristotel, who had lifted the whole ship with a hand

Can you retell the legend?

I read this definition of what simple machines are.

Here it is: ''a simple machine is any device that only requires the application of a single force to work.''

The question was about something else, Matjaž.
