Class 3 Lever!
You Don't even know that!
Forceps are an example of a class 1 lever, where the fulcrum is located between the effort (force applied) and the load (object being lifted or held).
A forceps belongs to the class of levers known as a third-class lever, where the effort force is between the fulcrum and the load. In forceps, the hand squeezing the handles provides the effort force, the load is the object being grasped, and the pivot point acts as the fulcrum.
Yes, a forceps can be considered a first-class lever. In this case, the fulcrum is located between the effort (the force applied by the user) and the load (the object being grasped). When the user squeezes the handles, the force is applied on one end, while the load is at the opposite end, effectively allowing the forceps to grasp and manipulate objects efficiently.
Forceps are considered a type of lever, as they use the principle of a lever to amplify force or modify the direction of force applied. By applying force at one end of the forceps, the object being grasped can be moved or manipulated at the other end.
