It seems you may be referencing different types of simple machines and everyday objects. Here's a brief overview of the items you've listed and their classifications as simple machines or objects that either use machines or have mechanical benefits:
1. **Wedge**: A device that converts a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular to its inclined surfaces, commonly used for splitting or cutting.
2. **Pulley**: A wheel on an axle or shaft designed to support movement and change the direction of force, used in lifting weights.
3. **Wheel and Axle**: A simple machine consisting of a larger wheel attached to a smaller axle, allowing for the movement of loads or increasing mechanical advantage.
4. **Screw**: A cylindrical object with a helical ridge (thread) that converts rotational force into linear motion and is used for fastening.
5. **Inclined Plane**: A flat surface that is tilted at an angle to the horizontal, making it easier to lift objects by reducing the amount of force needed.
6. **Lever (E)**: A rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point (fulcrum), used to lift or move loads with less effort.
7. **Spoon (G)**: Though primarily a utensil for eating or serving food, it can function like a lever, especially when used to scoop or lift items.
8. **Basket (I)**: Usually not a machine but can be used in conjunction with simple machines for carrying items.
9. **Towel (K)**: An absorbent fabric used for drying, not a simple machine but often used in conjunction with other tools.
10. **Napkin (L)**: A piece of cloth or paper used to wipe the mouth and hands, not mechanical in nature.
11. **Pedal**: A lever operated by foot, commonly found in bicycles and various machines (like sewing machines), allowing mechanical advantage in moving or operating the machine.
