Answer 2

Overall, simple machines make work easier by either reducing the amount of force needed, increasing the distance over which a force is applied, or magnifying the force being applied. This allows for the same amount of work to be done with less effort or for more work to be done with the same amount of effort.

Answer 3

They reduce the amount of force needed to move and object to do the same amount of work.
