The distance from the fulcrum to the effort.

Here we don't always depend on the number but only the convenience of handling mechanically. First class. Fulcrum in the middle (scissors) Second class : Load is in the middle (nut cracker) Third class: Power is in the middle (forceps)
Mechanical advantage refers to the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied to it. A lever with a mechanical advantage greater than one is used to increase distance.
The mechanical advantage of a First Class lever is Distance of the effort from the fulcrum/Distance of the load from the fulcrum
A second class lever always has a mechanical advantage greater than 1.

Mechanical advantage: Class-I lever . . . can be any positive number Class-II lever . . . always less than ' 1 ' (and more than zero) Class-III lever . . . always more than ' 1 '
The advantage of a first class lever is that by using less input force, you get more output force. Teehee!
It depends upon where the fulcrum is, and it can be changed by moving the fulcrum.

The mechanical advantage of the lever is that smaller persons can move heavier objects. The lever can be placed under the object and the person can then push down on the lever.
The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage
nothing
The mechanical advantage of a lever can be increased by moving the fulcrum towards the load and away from the power end.
