False. A lever to multiply the force exerted has its fulcrum closer to the object than to the force is applied. This will increase the force but decrease the distance the object moves compared to the force end.
a froce magnifier
I'm unsure as to what exactly a distance magnifier is so hopefully someone with expertise in trebuchets can add to this. However I am confident that a trebuchet works on the principle of a lever. A lever is a force magnifier. Yet a trebuchet also uses a sling to launch the projectile in a parabolic arc which has the effect of increasing the distance, so perhaps it qualifies as both? A lever is most often used as a force multiplier, where the load moves through a smaller distance than the applied force, but in the case of a trebuchet the lever is used in the opposite sense. The load moves through a greater distance than the applied force and so the trebuchet is a distance multiplier.
Both. A small driving gear and a large driven gear is a force multiplier. Whilst a large driving gear and a small driven gear is a speed multiplier
what is force multiplier
Well, i'd say its both. depends on the case to specify when it is a force multiplier or a distance multiplier.

force
Force multiplier. It an inclined plane so a smaller force is acting over a greater distance

You need a velocity multiplier. A common example is a bicycle wheel.
