That is the distance between the load and the fulcrum. The load may be on the far side, or the near side of the fulcrum.
One often overlooked fact, is that as the distance from load to fulcrum increases, the load on the fulcrum decreases.

Where should the fulcrum be placed to balance a heavy load?
closer toward the load
Keeping the location of the effort constant Will the effort increase if the load is moved farther away from the fulcrum?
The magnitude of the effort is controlled by you, not by the distance of the load from the fulcrum. Moving the load farther away from the fulcrum has no effect on the effort. But if you want to leave the effort where it is and still lift the load with the lever, then you're going to have to increase the effort.
What is class 2 lever?
a class two lever has fulcrum at one end and the load in center
What do you need to know to calculate the mechanical advantage of a compound machine?
torque in * input rpm/output rpm = torque out
In an isotonic contraction the muscle does what?
Changes in length and moves the "load"
Where are the effort load and fulcrum locate in a first class lever?
The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.
Relationship between position of fulcrum and effort required to lift load?
A relationship between two of it are when load come closer to fulcrum, you need more effort to use. But if load go far away from the fulcrum, you need less effort to use. A relationship between two of it are when load come closer to fulcrum, you need more effort to use. But if load go far away from the fulcrum, you need less effort to use.
What happens when the fulcrum is further from the load?
The closer the load is to the fulcrum the greater the mechanical advantage. The closer to the fulcrum, the less the load moves when the lever is used.
Where are the load effort and fulcrum located on a second class lever?
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
Is the fulcrum always located at the same place as the lever?
No, there are 3 types of load-fulcrum-effort systems and the fulcrum depends upon the effort and the load of the system...
Where is fulcrum load and effort in fishing rod?
well the effort is in the middle as it is your hand moving while the fulcrum is your elbow and the rod is the load.
What is the difference between effort distance and load distance?

Where is the effort load and fulcrum on a stapler?
The effort is the point on the back where the hand presses the stapler. The load is the staple. The fulcrum is the hinge at the back.
What is the MA of a first class lever?
It is (distance from fulcrum to effort)/(distance from fulcrum to load).
What are the 3 parts of a lever?
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
What are the parts of seesaw?
fulcrum force and load
Where should the fulcrum effort be placed to easily lift the load resistance?
As close to the load as possible. Note that the closer to the load the fulcrum is placed, the shorter the lift that can be effectuated by the use of the lever.
