A rake acts as a machine by decreasing the applied force and decreasing the distance over which the force is applied. A machine is defined as an object that reduces the input work needed to make something function. Basically, it is something that makes our manual labor easier. Since Work is a function of force and distance, a machine decreases the force and distance needed.
