उत्तर
A lever is a simple machine consisting of a rigid rod that is capable of turning around a pivot called a fulcrum. It has three parts, namely effort, load, and fulcrum.
- Fulcrum: The rod of the lever rests on it and the lever rotates about it.
- Load: The weight lifted by the liver is called the load.
- Effort: The force applied on the other end of the rod to lift the load is called the effort.
