Increasing Force
 The
upward force exerted by the
jack is greater than the downward
force you exert of the handle.
Increasing Distance
 They
will do the same amount of work.
Doing the work over a longer distance
allows them to use less force.
Changing Direction
 When
you use an
ax to split wood,
you exert a
downward force as
you swing the ax
then it changes
into a horizontal
force that splits
the wood apart.
