Second class lever. . . . Always greater than 1 . Third class lever . . . . . Always less than 1 . First class lever . . . . . Can be greater than 1 or less than 1 depending on position of 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 of a lever can be increased by moving the fulcrum towards the load and away from the power end.
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 '
A lever is a mechanical device.
