Question

How does a machine work?

✓

Answer

A machine does some useful work when energy is supplied to it.
Energy supplied to machine (or input) = Effort × Displacement of the point of application of effort.
Work obtained from a machine (or output) = Load × Displacement of the point of application of load.
For an ideal machine, Work output = Work input.
