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.

How is a hammer pulling out a nail a 3 class lever?

A hammer is a 3rd class lever. A third class lever has a load-effort-fulcrum configuration. What is interesting about a hammer is that though the load is the head of the hammer, the effort and the fulcrum are both in the hand. What makes it a 3rd class lever is that the effort is more in the hand and fingers, while the fulcrum is closer to the base of the hand at the wrist.


Relationship between position of fulcrum and effort required to lift load?

A relationship between two of it are when load come closer to fulcrum, you need more effort to use. But if load go far away from the fulcrum, you need less effort to use.

Where is fulcrum effort and resistance on a broom?

where your hand is, your lower hand is the fulcrum.


Is a crowbar a lever or a fulcrum?

A crowbar is a Class 1 lever (fulcrum or pivot in the middle) The trick to remembering which type is which is: FRE 123. If F the fulcrum is in the middle it's Class 1, if the Resistance (or load is in the middle (a wheelbarrow) it's Class 2 and if the Effort is in the middle (tweezers) it's Class 3.It's a class 1 lever because the curve part of the crowbar (the fulcrum) is in between the effort, at the end of the crowbar where your hands are, and the load side, the short side that pry's the thing open.


What happens when the distance is change between the fulcrum and When you move a fulcrum as close as you can to the effort force and farthest away from the load you are pushing on the short end of the?

The answer your teacher want's: Effort to move the load inceases, distance the load moves in relation to the force end increases. In real life you Little sister sits on the low end of the tetertotter and giggles because you arent heavy enough to lift her up.

Where is the fulcrum located on a class 3 lever?

In a class 3 lever, the fulcrum is located at one end, the effort is applied at the other end, and the load is in between. This type of lever is characterized by having the effort in the middle, being closer to the fulcrum than the load.


What class lever is a fly swatter?

A fly swatter is a class-3 lever because the fulcrum is at the bottom, the effort is in the middle, and the load is at the end.


Boring pump is an example of which lever?

A boring pump is an example of a second-class lever, where the load is situated between the effort (input force) and the fulcrum. The fulcrum is on one end, the effort is applied on the other end, and the load is in the middle.


What does a second class lever look like?

A second class lever has the load positioned between the fulcrum and the effort. An example would be a wheelbarrow, where the wheel (fulcrum) is at one end, the handles (effort) are at the other end, and the load is in the middle.


Are scissors a first class lever?

yea because the fulcrum in that nail in the middle of this scissor and the effort, or input force, is you using the handles and the the load is the end blades of the scissor. First class is when the fulcrum is in the middle, and the load and effort are on the other sidesno


What has a pivot point between a load and an input force?

The answer is: a lever.A lever is a simple machine that has a stick that pivots at a point called a Fulcrum.There are 3 types of Lever:First class lever: A first class lever is when a fulcrum is in the middle of the input force and the load. An example is a seesaw in the playground. When you press down the side of seesaw,(input force) the other side goes up. (load, output force) In the middle, there is a fixed point.Second class lever: A second class lever is where you have the load in the middle of the Fulcrum and the input force. An example would be a wheelbarrow. The basket in the middle is the load( also called the output force) the wheel at the end is the Fulcrum, and the handle that you press up and down is the input force.Third class lever: A third class lever is a lever that has a input force in between the Fulcrum and the Load. An example is a Hammer. The sharp part is the load(output force) the part you grab and swing is the input force, and the other end of the hammer is the Fulcrum.


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 kind of lever is stapler?

A stapler is a class 1 lever, where the fulcrum is located at one end, the effort is applied at the other end, and the load is in the middle.


How do you connect second class levers?

like a wheel barrow effort on one side load in middle and fulcrum on other end


What type of lever is a swing?

A swing is considered a class 1 lever, where the fulcrum is at one end and the effort is applied at the other end, while the load is in the middle.


What is class 2 lever?

A class 2 lever is a type of lever where the load is located between the fulcrum and the effort force. This lever system increases the force output at the expense of distance traveled. Examples include wheelbarrows and bottle openers.
