Which type of simple machine reduces the amount of input force needed?
Added by Breanna F.
Step 1
Among these, the inclined plane, lever, and pulley are known to reduce the amount of input force needed to perform a task. Inclined planes reduce the input force by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. Levers reduce the input force by Show more…

Madhur L.
Which statement describes how a machine can help make work easier? It can put out more force than the input force by decreasing the distance over which force is applied. It can increase the amount of work performed if the output force is in the same direction as the input force. It can apply a greater output force over a greater distance compared to the input force and distance. It can increase the distance over which output force acts by applying less output force than input force.
