The load is the weight and the effort is the movment.
The effort is the force applied, and load divided by effort is mechanical advantage.

How is mechanical advantage calculated for levers?
lenght of the effort arm divided by lenght of the load arm
What makes the first class lever second class lever third class lever different?
1st order levers have the fulcrum between the load and effort arms. The mechanical advantage of these levers can be greater or less than 1, depending on the length of the arms.2nd order levers have the load portion between the effort portion and the fulcrum. These always have a mechanical advantage greater than 1. They increase the force exerted at the expense of distance.3rd order levers have the effort portion between the load portion and the fulcrum. These always have a mechanical advantage less than 1. They decrease the force exerted with a gain to the distance.
How is the arm an example of a third class lever?
In third class levers effort P is in between the fulcrum F and the load W. According to the principle of lever, W/P = effort arm/load arm, here effort arm is always less than load arm.Therefore more effort has to be applied to overcome a small load. Example:- forearm used for lifting a load on the palm.
Do second and third class levers both have the fulcrum between the effort and the load?
Actually, the First Class lever is the only one that has.
Do levers have only one class?
All the levers in the world can be grouped in 3 classes, depending on how the effort point, the load point, and the fulcrum are lined up. Class I . . . fulcrum (pivot) is in the middle. Class II . . . load is in the middle. Class III . . . effort is in the middle. Each individual lever can only belong to one class.
How do levers work?
levers work by having a effort that lifts a load, and a fulcrum balances the two
What are some examples of class 3 levers?
First class levers are like see-saws. The fulcrum (turning point) comes between the effort and the load. So if you push down on the effort the load goes up. With second class levers the load comes between the effort and the fulcrum. This is good for catapulting things. Third class levers have the effort between the load and the fulcrum. An example would be a fishing rod. The fish on the end is the load, your hand on the rod is the effort and the hand at the end is the fulcrum.
Why Wheel Barrow is second order lever?
because the load is in between the effort and the fulcrum. In second order levers the load is always in between the effort and the fulcrum.

How is mechanical advantage calculated for levers?
lenght of the effort arm divided by lenght of the load arm
What are the 3 kinds of levers?
First-class levers have the fulcrum placed between the load and the effort, as in the seesaw, crowbar, and balance scale. If the two arms of the lever are of equal length, as with the balance scale, the effort must be equal to the load. If the effort arm is longer than the load arm, as in the crowbar, the effort travels farther than the load and is less than the load.Second-class levers have the load between the effort and the fulcrum. A wheelbarrow is a second-class lever. The wheel's axle is the fulcrum, the handles take the effort, and the load is placed between them. The effort always travels a greater distance and is less than the load.Third-class levers have the effort placed between the load and the fulcrum. The effort always travels a shorter distance and must be greater than the load. A hammer acts as a third-class lever when it is used to drive in a nail: the fulcrum is the wrist, the effort is applied through the hand, and the load is the resistance of the wood. Another example of a third-class lever is the human forearm: the fulcrum is the elbow, the effort is applied by the biceps muscle, and the load is in the hand.Refer to link below for more information.
What is the major factor controlling the manner in which levers work?
The difference in the positioning of the effort, load, and fulcrum.
Why is the mechanical advantage of second class levers is always greater than 1?
Because the load is always between the effort and the fulcrum, so the effort arm is always longer than the load arm.
Examples of first class levers?
first class levers have fulcrum at center and load and effort at extremes, examples are seesaw and scissor.
How are first and second class levers different?
the first class levers have the fulcrum in the middle and the resistance and effort on the two sides second class levers have the resistance in the middle and the fulcrum and the effort on the two sides
How is the arm an example of a third class lever?
In third class levers effort P is in between the fulcrum F and the load W. According to the principle of lever, W/P = effort arm/load arm, here effort arm is always less than load arm.Therefore more effort has to be applied to overcome a small load. Example:- forearm used for lifting a load on the palm.
How do you connect second class levers?
like a wheel barrow effort on one side load in middle and fulcrum on other end
