because if there wasn't an input force, or any one of those, the machine would not work properly
It is a second class lever.One example is the wheelbarrow - the wheel is the fulcrum, the input force is at the handles where you lift and push, and the output force is what's carried in the wheelbarrow.
The end of a lever that carries the load is the output arm instead of the input arm which is the end of a lever that force is applied to move the load.
yes it changes the direction, and increases the force
A lever at a mechanical disadvantage exerts a smaller force on the output arm than is exerted on the input arm; if you push with 10N on a lever with a disadvantage of 2, the other arm only exerts a 5N force. However, a lever with a mechanical disadvantage exerts the smaller force over a greater distance. Trebuchets are one example of a mechanically disadvantaged lever: the fairly small projectile doesn't need a huge force to propel it, and the greater distance afforded by the lever allows it to travel at great speed.
Levers are classified into three types (first-class, second-class, and third-class) depending on the relative position of the fulcrum (pivot point), the point of applied (input) force, and the location of the load (output force). In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between the input force and the output force, and the load is moved in the opposite direction of the applied force. Placing the fulcrum closer to the load gives an advantage of force (less force needed to move the load a shorter distance), while a fulcrum closer to the point of applied force gives an advantage of distance (the load is moved a greater distance but more applied force is needed). First-class levers include a crowbar, using a hammer's claw end to remove a nail, and a pair of scissors. In a second-class lever, the load is between the fulcrum and the point of applied force, so both forces move in the same direction. Less force is needed to move the load, but the load does not move as far as the direction over which the input force must be applied. Examples include the wheelbarrow, a bottle opener, and a door on its hinges. In a third-class lever, the input force is applied between the fulcrum and the load, and both move in the same direction. The amount of applied force is always greater than the output force of the load, but the load is moved a greater distance than that over which the input force is applied. Examples include a hammer driving a nail and the forearm of a person swinging a baseball bat.

The third class lever functions between the input force and the output force
first class lever. Why? because it is in the order of output force-fulcrum-input force. output force ______________________________ input force fulcrum
Yes
Input and output are shown on a force diagram by the human being the input force and the load force being the output force. When you divide output force by input force, you get the mechanical advantage of a lever.

That's a Class-1 lever, where the input and output are on opposite sides of the fulcrum.
when the input arm is smaller than the output arm.
first class lever
An output force is a force that results from an input force. For example, initially pushing something is an input force. The output force would be the force that it is moving with because of the input force.
Multiply (the input force) x (the lever's mechanical advantage).
yes it is a 1st class lever and so is a pair of pliers!!!!
hhhhh
