Which two types of simple machines can be identified in a fishing pole?

A fishing pole primarily demonstrates the function of a lever and a wheel and axle. Looking at the lever aspect, a fishing pole operates as a first-class lever, where the fulcrum is the point where the pole pivots while reeling in a fish. The angler applies force at one end, and this force is amplified as it moves through the pole to the other end, allowing for effective lifting and maneuvering of the fish.

The wheel and axle component can be found in the fishing reel. The reel itself consists of a cylindrical spool (the wheel) that the fishing line is wound around, with a handle (the axle) that turns the spool. This design allows the angler to easily retrieve the line and manage the tension when fighting a fish or casting.

These two mechanisms work together to enhance the fishing experience by providing leverage and mechanical advantage, making it easier to control and reel in fish.
