which simple machine is a broom
A broom is a lever. The fulcrum or pivot point is the user's wrist. It moves a load (the dirt) with the load arm and is pushed with the force arm (where we hold it). Compound machines are objects that have two or more simple machines included in them. A pair of scissors is a great compound machine. It has a lever (the handle) and a wedge (the blades of the scissors).
