Yes, the position of the load on a class-2 lever does affect the amount of effort required. Moving the load closer to the fulcrum reduces the effort needed, while moving it farther away from the fulcrum increases the effort required.
A fulcrum is the fixed point around which a lever pivots. The resistance is the force opposing the movement of the lever, while the effort is the force applied to move the lever. The position of the fulcrum relative to the resistance and effort forces determines the mechanical advantage of the lever system.
The force applied to a lever is usually called the effort force. It is the force that is used to move or lift an object attached to the lever. The magnitude of the effort force required depends on the position of the load and the pivot point relative to the point of effort application on the lever.
The main difference lies in the position of the effort, load, and fulcrum in relation to each other. In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between the effort and the load. In a second-class lever, the load is between the fulcrum and the effort. In a third-class lever, the effort is between the fulcrum and the load.
It is the part of a lever, where external force is applied in order to do work.
The three types of levers differ based on the position of the load, effort, and fulcrum. In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between the load and the effort. In a second-class lever, the load is between the fulcrum and the effort. In a third-class lever, the effort is between the fulcrum and the load.

The amount of effort needed to lift a 1-kg mass using a lever depends on the length of the lever arm and the position of the fulcrum. By applying a downward force at one end of the lever, you can lift the mass on the other end with less effort than directly lifting it due to the mechanical advantage provided by the lever.
In a lever, the resistance force is located between the effort force and the fulcrum. This setup creates a mechanical advantage that allows a smaller effort force to overcome a larger resistance force. The position and distance of the resistance force from the fulcrum determine the effectiveness of the lever system.
In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is located between the effort (force applied) and the resistance (load being moved). Examples include a seesaw or a crowbar.
The lever class of a hammer depends upon its use. If the hammer is used as a claw to remove a nail, it is a first class lever. When the hammer is used to strike a nail, it is a third class lever. There are three classes of levers. The difference between the classes lies in the position of the load, the effort and the fulcrum. When the fulcrum is between the load and effort, the object is a first class lever. If the load is between the fulcrum and effort, the object is a second class lever. A third class lever places the effort between the load and the fulcrum.
The effort distance in a lever is measured from the point where the effort force is applied to the fulcrum. It is the distance over which the effort force acts to move the lever. By measuring this distance, you can calculate the mechanical advantage of the lever.
On the lever
Changing the fulcrum position of a lever can affect the mechanical advantage by changing the ratio of the lever arms on either side of the fulcrum. Moving the fulcrum closer to the load will increase the mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift the load. Conversely, moving the fulcrum closer to the effort force will decrease the mechanical advantage, requiring more effort to lift the load.
