Planos, cuñas y tornillos

The video tutorial explains the role of machines in simplifying work by transferring energy and applying force. It introduces simple machines like inclined planes, wedges, and screws, detailing their mechanics and advantages. The inclined plane reduces the force needed to lift objects, while wedges help in separating objects. Screws convert rotational force into linear force, making them effective in fastening. These simple machines, along with levers, pulleys, and wheels, form the foundation of modern machinery, as defined by Renaissance scientists inspired by Archimedes.
