'Mechanical Advantage' of a 3rd class lever is always less than 1.

Force on the resistance is less than the effort force.

Distance moved by the load is greater than distance moved by the effort.

Eg: fishing pole.

Is it possible for a first or second class lever to have a mechanical advantage less than one or for a third class lever to have a mechanical advantage greater than one?

Second class lever. . . . Always greater than 1 . Third class lever . . . . . Always less than 1 . First class lever . . . . . Can be greater than 1 or less than 1 depending on position of fulcrum.


What class of lever is a baseball bat?

A baseball bat is a type 3 class lever, where the force is applied between the fulcrum (handle end) and the resistance (the ball end). This allows for a good mechanical advantage for hitting the ball with speed and force.

How do you increase the mechanical advantage of third class lever?

To increase the mechanical advantage of a third-class lever, you can adjust the distances between the effort force, the fulcrum, and the load. By increasing the length of the effort arm or decreasing the length of the load arm, you can increase the mechanical advantage.


Is a wheelbarrow first class lever second class lever third class lever or fourth class lever?

A wheelbarrow is a second-class lever. In a second-class lever, the load is between the effort (force) and the fulcrum, which allows for a mechanical advantage in lifting and moving heavy loads with less effort.


Does a third-class lever increase the distance a load an be moved?

Yes, a third-class lever does not increase the distance that a load can be moved. In a third-class lever, the effort is in between the load and the fulcrum, resulting in a greater mechanical advantage but less distance traveled by the load compared to the effort.


Which statement is true about the ideal mechanical advantage of a third-class lever?

mechanical advantage is the output force divided by the input force

Is a mouse trap a third class lever?

Yes, a mouse trap is a third-class lever. The fulcrum is at one end, the force (spring) is applied in the middle, and the load (trap mechanism) is at the other end, creating a mechanical advantage.
