Scissors are compound machines. These scissors have fulcrum wedges and levers.
wedge and a lever

A scissor is a form of a simple lever.

The loadforce is at the blade end - paper.

The fulcrum is usually a screw,

and the effort force is on the handles.

scissors have more than one simple machine making it a complex machine and it has a wedge as well as a lever since it has a fulcrum to hold them together

A pair of scissors is a combination of two wedges, acting in opposite directions, connected to a lever.

I have no idea, sorry.
The main simple machines in use by scissors are levers. You push and pull (in a sense) on one end of each crossed lever to create the up and down motions. This creates a straight slice in the object you are cutting.
Lever- fulcrum located between the input and output force. (First-Class Levers).

Wedge- V-shaped object whose sides are two inclined planes sloped toward each other.

I'm not that sure.. I read my science book and that's what the book says :)..

Scissors are considered compound machines, which are made up of two or more simple machines working together. In the case of scissors, there are two levers attached at a pivot point, which act as the cutting mechanism. The handles act as the input force, while the blades act as the output force, making scissors a combination of levers and wedges.

What are the types of simple machines that make up a pair of scissors


Two, first class levers are held together in the center by a screw. The cutting edges on the scissors are wedges.





  • Two 1st class levers
  • A screw

no scissors are a compound machine made of two levers and two wedges
Yes. They are known as a first class lever.
Scissors aren't even a machine. They are a tool to help you cut things, like paper. So the answer to your question is yes.
freaking no idea

It's a class one lever. If you look at the scissors the fulcrum is in the middle, effort in left side and the load on the other side.

Since a chair is not intended to be used for moving or lifting it cannot be considered a machine at all.
