I used a wedge and hammer last night to split one very large limestone block into 5 more manageable ones and I've never felt more ancient Egyptian in my life.
I seem to remember wedge was basically an inclined plane, and a screw was an inclined plane wrapped around an axle. Also a pulley is a specific application of wheel and axle.
But is a lever an adjustable inclined plane, or is it a specific application of a wheel and axel?
Is it all inclined planes????

TIL the definition of simple machine.
Every machine is a lever.
