The machines which are simple in construction and help to make our work easier and faster are called simple machines.

The ratio of the load to the effort is called the MA of a simple machine.
A machine having 100 % efficiency is called an ideal machine. No such simple is ideal in real life.
A lever is a rigid bar. It may be straight or bent, and it rotates about fixed points called a fulcrum.
There are three classes of a lever based on the location of fulcrum, effort, and load.
Pulleys are of three types, i) Fixed pulley, ii) Movable pulley, iii) Block and tackle
The slanted surface is called an inclined plane.
The wheel and axle are a combination of two cylinders of different diameters.
A screw is a cylinder having spirally wounded threads around it.
All cutting and piercing instruments are called wedges.

The differences between the second class lever and third class lever are as follows:

S.N.	Second class lever	Third class lever
1.	In the second class lever, a load lies between an effort and a fulcrum.	In the third class lever, an effort lies between a load and a fulcrum.
2.	The second class lever helps us to do our work by multiplying the force applied.	It helps us to do our work by increasing the speed of doing work.
3.	Mechanical advantage (MA) is always greater than 1.	Mechanical advantage is always less than 1.
