Load is in the center, as in a wheel barrow or a bottle opener.
Having an acronym might help remember which class is which. For example:
3-2-1 - ELF! means that for a class 3, the effort is in the middle; class 2, load in the middle; and class 1, fulcrum in the middle.

Is a wall mounted bottle opener a third class lever?
Hinge is a joint. It is designed to join two 'arms' together while letting them move freely. A lever is when a pivot, load, effort is present. Although hinge itself is not a lever, but taking our biceps as an example, that would be a Class 3 lever
What are the 3 types or classes of levers?
A claw hammer is a lever when using the claw to pull a nail. A crowbar or pry bar is also a lever. Automobile friction jacks are also levers. Your arm is a biological (biomechanical) lever.
How are tongs a third class lever?
the fulcrum is where the parts of the two metals meet. Then, you push down in the middle of the tongs. (this is the input force). Then, the output force is the ends of the tongs pushing down or towards each other.
What are the definition of the six simple matchines?
Screw-a metal fastener having a tapered shank with a helical thread, and topped with a slotted head, driven into wood or the like by rotating, especially by means of a screwdriver. Inclined Plane- one of the simple machines, a plane surface inclined to the horizon, or forming with a horizontal plane any angle but a right angle. Gears- a part, as a disk, wheel, or section of a shaft, having cut teeth of such form, size, and spacing that they mesh with teeth in another part to transmit or receive force and motion. Wheel and Axle- a simple machine consisting, in its typical form, of a cylindrical drum to which a wheel concentric with the drum is firmly fastened: ropes are so applied that as one unwinds from the wheel, another rope is wound on to the drum. Pulley- a wheel, with a grooved rim for carrying a line, that turns in a frame or block and serves to change the direction of or to transmit force, as when one end of the line is pulled to raise a weight at the other end: one of the simple machines. Wedge- a piece of hard material with two principal faces meeting in a sharply acute angle, for raising, holding, or splitting objects by applying a pounding or driving force, as from a hammer. Compare machine Lever- a rigid bar that pivots about one point and that is used to move an object at a second point by a force applied at a third. *1st class lever- A lever that has its fulcrum (point of support or axis of rotation) between the point of resistance (load) and the point of effort (applied force). In the human body, a first class lever is used when the head is raised off the chest. *2nd class lever- A lever that has its point of resistance (load) between its fulcrum (point of support or axis of rotation) and point of effort (force application). In the human body, a second class lever is used when a person stands on tip-toe. *3rd class lever a lever in which the axis is at one end, the load at the other end, and the effort is exerted in between, as in a treadle.
What simple machine is a cutting plier?
Tin snips are similar to scissors - they are a combination of two wedges (the blades) and two levers (each blade and the handle it connects to) joined at a fulcrum (the hinge.)There are many types of simple machines. Tin snips would be a first class lever, as the fulcrum(pivot) is in the middle.
What is class 2 lever?
a class two lever has fulcrum at one end and the load in center
What class lever is a tree pruners?
A tree pruner is a class 1 lever. The fulcrum is where the two blades cross, and the load is what you are cutting. The effort is applied to the two handles.
How does a first-class lever different from a second-class lever?
In a first class lever the fulcrum is at the middle. load and effort are applied at two ends. eg scissors. In second class lever fulcrum is at one end and effort is at other end. The load is at the middle. eg nutcracker.
How does a second-class lever differ from a first class lever?
In a first class lever the fulcrum is at the middle. load and effort are applied at two ends. eg scissors. In second class lever fulcrum is at one end and effort is at other end. The load is at the middle. eg nutcracker.
What makes a class two lever class 2?
this is because their is load in btw the fulcrum and effort
What does the lever system do?
a lever system is a type of system in which people use to gain an advantage at doing something hard. There is three different type of classes. Class 1, class 2, and class 3.Class 1 is a class in which the load is on one side of the lever system, weighing down the effort. Maybe even more than what the effort can lift. The fulcrum is located right in the middle where the point of it is. Example:A door handle. The load is the thing that is pulling it down. The effort is at the tip ,at the door keeping it nailed into the door. Finally , the fulcrum is located in the middle. Class to is quite different. The load is located in the middle, then the fulcrum on either end, and the effort on the other end.Example: a wheelbarrow. The load can be the rocks someone is lifting from a place. Then the effort is the person lifting it and lugging it across land. The fulcrum is the wheel.With class three the effort and load are switched around from class 2. Class three has the effort located in the middle with the load on either side, and the fulcrum. Example:tongs. The the load is in the middle, say containing meat. Then the effort is towards the two tips, pushing the tongs down to keep in the meat without it falling out. The fulcrum is the tip at the end where the two pieces of metal were welded together.
What class lever is used in a calf raise?
Class Two Lever
Is wheelbarrow an inclined plane?
A wheelbarrow is a second class lever. In a second class lever, the pivot point is at one end (the wheel), the effort force is at the opposite end (your hands on handles) and the resistive force (load) is in between the two.

What class of lever is a paper cutter?
a paper cutter is a class two lever

What is the physics of a seesaw?
A seesaw in physics is a Class 1 Lever. One rider can be called the force, the other rider is then the load, and the fulcrum is between the two.
