the force is less because if the fulcrum is father away from the effort the force will increase and become greater. so if the fulcrum is closer to the effort there will be less force.
Fulcrum and a bar or plank.load fulcrum effortFulcrumthe parts of the lever are resistance,effort and the fulcrum
a 1st class lever there are 3 types of levers, 1st 2nd and 3rd class. 1st: fulcrum between effort and resistance 2nd:resistance between fulcrum and effort 3rd: effort between fulcrum and resistance Fulcrum = a pivot point on a lever. Effort = force applied on lever Resistance = load 1st example:see-saw/scissors 2nd example:wheelbarrow/car door 3rd example:someone raking/ hockey stick being usued
the fulcrum lies between the effort and load the effort or force and makes it possible to perform the work
disadvantage of first class the fulcrum lies on more effort or more force.

Class 2.
It depends on which type of lever you are using. If it is a Class II lever then the load is between the fulcrum and the effort.
The effort-to-load force in a first class lever is decreased when the distance between the effort and the fulcrum is less than the distance between the fulcrum and the load.
The effort force is applied at the handle of the shovel. The fulcrum is where your other hand goes, lower down the shaft, and the fulcrum resistance would be where the load goes on the shovel, I.E the flat bit that you hit people with!
Fulcrum

No, the function of the fulcrum remains the same The only change would be the ratio of force to load The closer the fulcrum is the the load, the less force required to lift it The farther away the fulcrum is from the load, the more force required to lift it
A Lever comprises of three components:Fulcrum or Pivot - the point about which the lever rotatesLoad or Resistance - the object that requires movingEffort - the force applied by the user of the lever system
Only a very small force if the arm only has to be supported. What other weights do the arm carry and at what angle does the biceps attach to the fore-arm? What is the distance to the hand from the fulcrum and what is the arm weight (assuming a weight is in the hand and arm weight has to be added to the weight-in-hand)? The length of the hand to fulcrum is also required. There is no such thing as 90% angle: 90 degrees perhaps?
To do this you first have to calculate your ideal mechanical advantage (IMA). The IMA is equal to the effort distance (the distance from the fulcrum to where you will apply the effort) divided by the load distance (the distance from the fulcrum to the load). You can then set your IMA equal to your acutal mechanical advatage (AMA) which assumes 100% efficiency. The AMA is equal to the load force (the weight of what you are lifting) divided by the effort force (the # you are looking for). So, for example, if your IMA is 5 and your load force is 500 lbs: 5=500/effort force. Therefore the effort force would be 100 pounds.
the fulcrum, load and effort The three parts of a lever , fulcrum, resistance arm and effort arm, work together to make it possible to lift a weight using less force ...
