What is an example of output force?
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.
What is the difference between first class second class and third class levers?
the difference is the position of the fulcrum. a first class lever has the fulcrum between the lode and applied force. a second class lever has the load between the fulcrum and applied force. A third class lever has the applied force between load and fulcrum. The load happens to be the thing that you are affecting in the system. On a seesaw the load and applied force changes as either kid goes up, but the lower kid is always the force and upper is the load with the fulcrum in the middle. this happens to be a first class lever. a second class lever could be a bottle cap opener with the fulcrum at the end the bottle cap(load) in the middle and you pushing (force) on the other. a third class lever are like tweezers with the fulcrum on the closed end, force is you pushing in the middle, and affected load is whatever you pick up. There are also compound levers like nailclippers, but by diagramming the whole system it should be pretty easy to discover that it is a first class lever. It's compund because of the use of a lever system
Does a lever pivot on a fulcrum or a torque?
Fulcrum. Torque is the force applied to move the lever
What is a lever's effort arm?
It is the part of a lever, where external force is applied in order to do work.
How is it possible for a small force on one side of a lever to balance a large force on the other side?
the weight is put on the angle of the lever not the small force pushing it down
Where is the input force in a lever?
generally some kinetic energy is applied, probably from you pushing on the lever
What force is applied to a lever?
torque

Part of a lever on which effort force is applied?
Third class.
What is the part of a lever on which the effort force is applied is called?
Fulcrum
What is the name for the effect a force has when it is applied to one end of a lever and tries to turn the lever?
torque
How does the direction of the applied force change the amount of the force that is doing work?
Well if your pushing against a lever the most efficient way is 90 degrees to the lever if you push at an angle the force is split into an x direction and a y direction X = cos (angle degree) Y = sin(angle degree) The lower the angle is away from 90 degrees to the lever the more efficient it is goin to be
Levers explain how the force applied by a lever is affected by its distance from the fulcrum?
On the side on which the force is being applied, the distance and force are directly proportional. On the other side of the lever, they are inversely proportional. If 1 pound of force is applied to a lever at 1 foot on the left side of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 1 pound of force 1 foot from the right side of the fulcrum. If 1 pound of force is applied 2 feet left of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 2 pounds of force 1 foot from the right side. If 1 pound is applied 4 feet left of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 4 pounds of force 1 foot to the right of the fulcrum. If 1 pound of force is applied 1 foot left of the fulcrum, at 2 feet on the right side, the force will be 1/2 pound. At four feet, it will be 1/4 pound. Etc,
