Question

What type of lever has the load resistance between the fulcrum and the force?

Options

• First class lever

• Second class lever

• Both first class lever and second class lever

• Third class lever

Answer 1

Second class lever

Explanation:

A second-class lever has load resistance between its fulcrum and force. The fulcrum movement in these levers affects both the force and resistance arms. Because the force arm is always longer, lifting resistant weight requires less force than lifting the weight itself.
