Question

PLEASE ANSWER AND EXLAIN THE ANSWER! TYSM! I AM PRETTY SURE IT IS NOT D
Fiona claims that the diagram below shows simple machines, but Chad claims that it shows a compound machine.



Which statement best explains who is correct?

Fiona is correct because less than three machines are shown in the diagram.
Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines.
Chad is correct because more than one machine is shown in the diagram.
Chad is correct because the diagram shows two simple machines doing a job.

Answer 1

I would say the answer is B because it shows only two machines.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A mechanical device using which we can change the direction or magnitude of force applied is known as simple machine.

For example, in the given diagram there are two individual simple machines.

The machine helps in changing the direction or magnitude of force applied by the man. As a result, it becomes easy for him to carry different things easily from one place to another.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement Fiona is correct because the diagram shows two individual simple machines, is correct.
