Simple machines like levers make it easier to move objects using less force. A lever has a fulcrum point where it pivots. The load is the object being moved, while effort is the force applied. Pulleys use a wheel and axle along with a rope, and allow heavier objects to be lifted with less effort. Multiple pulleys further reduce the effort needed. Archimedes invented machines including a screw to lift water, a claw to remove boats from water, and a catapult to launch projectiles, demonstrating simple machines.
