Levers are classified into three types (first-class, second-class, and third-class) depending on the relative position of the fulcrum (pivot point), the point of applied (input) force, and the location of the load (output force). In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between the input force and the output force, and the load is moved in the opposite direction of the applied force. Placing the fulcrum closer to the load gives an advantage of force (less force needed to move the load a shorter distance), while a fulcrum closer to the point of applied force gives an advantage of distance (the load is moved a greater distance but more applied force is needed). First-class levers include a crowbar, using a hammer's claw end to remove a nail, and a pair of scissors. In a second-class lever, the load is between the fulcrum and the point of applied force, so both forces move in the same direction. Less force is needed to move the load, but the load does not move as far as the direction over which the input force must be applied. Examples include the wheelbarrow, a bottle opener, and a door on its hinges. In a third-class lever, the input force is applied between the fulcrum and the load, and both move in the same direction. The amount of applied force is always greater than the output force of the load, but the load is moved a greater distance than that over which the input force is applied. Examples include a hammer driving a nail and the forearm of a person swinging a Baseball bat.

levers
A lever is a simple machine that makes work easier for use; it involves moving a load around a pivot using a force. Many of our basic tools use levers, including scissors (2 class 1 levers), pliers (2 class 1 levers), hammer claws (a single class 2 lever), nut crackers (2 class 2 levers), and tongs (2 class 3 levers).
Lever belongs to the category of simple machines. They are three types of levers 1. First class levers 2. Second class levers 3. Third class levers In the first class levers fulcrum is in between applied force and load. common examples are Crowbar , Pair of scissors , SeeSaw , Skull and neck in our body .
The fulcrum can only ever be called the fulcrum. You may be asking about the three classes of levers: if so, you need to ask the question with enough description to allow an answer.
scissors have two connected levers that can be used to cut paper or cloth.
two
i forgot but if you get mad please firgive me but dusews
There are three different Classes of levers. Class One Levers have a fulcrum in the middle. Class Two Levers have a resistance in the middle. Class Three Levers have effort in the middle.
Three classes Three
classes 1 and 2
first class The point about which a lever rotates is called the fulcrum
on the position of the fulcrum
there are 3 levers i think...
There are multiple classes of levers, which can be used for varying situations. For example, some can be used for lifting tools, whereas others can be used for pulling large amounts of weight. Often, it is not otherwise possible to move large amounts of weight without these varying uses of levers, which speaks to their usefulness.
All the levers in the world can be grouped in 3 classes, depending on how the effort point, the load point, and the fulcrum are lined up. Class I . . . fulcrum (pivot) is in the middle. Class II . . . load is in the middle. Class III . . . effort is in the middle. Each individual lever can only belong to one class.
no
There are 3 if i am not mistaken.
