  3. 3. A device that changes the force or increases the motion from work.
  4. 5. advantage: The ratio of output force to input force.
  5. 6. machine consisting of a wheel with a groove for a rope or cable, used to change the direction of a force or to amplify it, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects.
