Question

A simple machine is a device that makes work easier by :

• A. Multiplying force
• B. Multiplying speed
• C. Applying force at a convenient point
• D. Applying force in a convenient direction

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A Multiplying force
B Applying force in a convenient direction
C Multiplying speed
D Applying force at a convenient point

$\text{Solution}:$

There are three ways simple machines make work easier: by increasing the distance through which force is applied, by changing the direction of applied force, or by multiplying force of speed of the energy applied.

$\text{Hence A,B,C,D are the correct options}$
