A wheelbarrow can be used to help lift a load, such as a pile of dirt, and then push the load across a distance. What two simple machines make up the wheelbarrow?
1 answer
The wheelbarrow is made up of two simple machines: the lever and the wheel and axle. The handles of the wheelbarrow act as a lever, allowing the user to lift the load with less force. The wheel and axle make it easier to push the load over a distance.
