Question 31 • Physical Science

Which simple machines make up a wheelbarrow?

Answer
A
a pulley and an inclined plane
B
a wheel and axle and a lever
C
a pulley and a wheel and axle
D
a lever and a wedge

Explanation

A wheelbarrow combines a wheel and axle at the front with a lever formed by its handles and frame. The load sits between the wheel (the fulcrum) and the effort applied at the handles, making it a second-class lever. Therefore, the correct choice is a wheel and axle and a lever.
