Simple Machines: Inclined Planes

The video tutorial explains simple machines, focusing on inclined planes, wedges, and screws. Inclined planes reduce the effort needed to move objects by increasing the distance over which the force is applied. Wedges, like axes, are two inclined planes combined, reducing effort force but requiring a longer distance. Screws function similarly, with examples like jacks, where multiple turns result in greater force output.
