What simple machine is the wheel based on? What do we call the “fulcrum” of a wheel?
Being a simple lever, a shovel must have a fulcrum. The fulcrum on a shovel is where it pivots in the dirt.
The wheels axle is the fulcrum part of a normal wheel barrow being a class 2 lever , on a Zero barrow it is a class 1 lever barrow but still the wheels axle is the fulcrum !!
the wheel
Generally, the point of the shovel handle is not so much as a machine to amplify the force you exert, as it is simply a way of being able to reach the ground with a scooping device, without having to bend your spine too much in order to do it. There are times, however, such as when you use a shovel to dislodge a large rock, when you could use it as a lever.
The fulcrum. A Lever is a rigid rod to which a force can be applied to overcome a resistance. The point at which a lever pivots is called the fulcrum.
A fulcrum in a lever is very important because without a fulcrum a lever isn't a lever , and the fulcrum is the main part of a lever.
the fulcrum(pivot) is the screw in the door.
A Fulcrum is a simple machine invented by the greek mathematician Archimedes who theorized that with a large enough fulcrum one could move the Earth. As for use in a sentance? Here ya go. Archimedes used a fulcrum to lift the earth.
The fulcrum is the handle.
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!
Lever -- load, fulcrum, force
A shovel is a lever. it has a handle, and one hand sets a fulcrum with the load set opposite the hand that is not the fulcrum. It might be argued that the leading edge of the shovel is a wedge making your shovel a compound machine, but that's cutting things fine.
a shovel is a first class lever. the force is applied to the handle, the soil at the end is the load and the edge that touchs the top of the soil is the fulcrum.
it is a class 2 lever thanks for your concern

there is the folcrum and two wedges which are the blades the folcrom is in the middle of the scissor connectin the two blades

The fixed point of a lever is called the fulcrum. A lever is a beam connected by a hinge, or pivot, called a fulcrum. A lever is used to amplify the applied force.
