A standard office stapler is a third class lever.
A third class lever is characterized by having a fulcrum on one end and the output on the opposite end of the machine. Effort is applied between the fulcrum and the output.

∙ 13y agoIt can be either.
The little bolt that connects the two scissor blades is considered the fulcrum (axis of rotation).
The distance between that fulcrum and the handle of the scissors where you're applying force is considered the effort arm.
The distance between that fulcrum and the point on the scissor blades where you make the cut is the resistive arm.
If those distances are the same, it is a first class lever
If you put the object close to the fulcrum (making the cut easier), you are making the resistive arm shorter than the effort arm. This favors the effort arm, making it a 2nd class lever.

What kind of simple machine are you using if you pull a nail out of wood?
You are using a lever when you pull a nail with a hammer or bar.
What levers do you find in your house?
Seesaw - The seesaw works by putting the fulcrum in the middle, and the two people on each end work as the force and the effort. This would be called a first class lever. Wheelbarrow: When the handles are lifted, the wheelbarrow is the fulcrum. This would be second class lever. Crow Bar:The crow bar is a first class lever, It's helps moves things around, like if you had a big rock to move out the way, you can use a crow bar, and you will need a smaller rock to be the fulcrum. Sport: Most sports use equipments like tennis racquets, softball bats, and cricket bats to make objects move faster and to hit objects like a ball further away. This is a third class lever
What type of simple machine are tweezers?
They are both compound 3rd Class levers. The fulcrum is the bit which is stuck together, the Effort is where you press them to make them work, so in the middle, and the load is at the end of the tweezers/nail clippers where you make the magic happen :)
How does a hammer used to pull a nail from the board change the direction of the force?
It is a lever.
Which order of lever is nail cutter?

Where is the lever of the hammer?
The lever class of a hammer depends upon its use. If the hammer is used as a claw to remove a nail, it is a first class lever. When the hammer is used to strike a nail, it is a third class lever. There are three classes of levers. The difference between the classes lies in the position of the load, the effort and the fulcrum. When the fulcrum is between the load and effort, the object is a first class lever. If the load is between the fulcrum and effort, the object is a second class lever. A third class lever places the effort between the load and the fulcrum.
How do you label the parts of a nail clipper as a second class lever?
the handle is the effort. The pincher which takes off the nail is the load. Then the pivot comes last.
How is a hammer pulling out a nail a 3 class lever?
A hammer is a 3rd class lever. A third class lever has a load-effort-fulcrum configuration. What is interesting about a hammer is that though the load is the head of the hammer, the effort and the fulcrum are both in the hand. What makes it a 3rd class lever is that the effort is more in the hand and fingers, while the fulcrum is closer to the base of the hand at the wrist.
What machines are in a nail clipper?
