In a can opener, the resistance force is the force required to open the can, applied by the person using the can opener. The effort force is the force exerted by the person to operate the can opener. The fulcrum is the pivot point around which the can opener rotates to open the can.
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.
The mechanical advantage of a first-class lever depends on the relative distances between the effort force, the fulcrum, and the resistance force. The mechanical advantage is calculated as the ratio of the distance from the fulcrum to the effort force to the distance from the fulcrum to the resistance force.
The distinguishing characteristic of first-class levers is that the fulcrum lies between the effort force and the resistance force. Second-class levers have the resistance force between the fulcrum and the effort force. Third-class levers have the effort force between the fulcrum and the resistance force.
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.
This is a second-class lever. The resistance force is located between the effort force and the fulcrum in this type of lever. An example of a second-class lever is a wheelbarrow.

The mechanical advantage of a first-class lever depends on the relative distances between the effort force, the fulcrum, and the resistance force. The mechanical advantage is calculated as the ratio of the distance from the fulcrum to the effort force to the distance from the fulcrum to the resistance force.

Second-class levers have the resistance force between the fulcrum and the effort force. Third-class levers have the effort force between the fulcrum and the resistance force.

This is a second-class lever. The resistance force is located between the effort force and the fulcrum in this type of lever. An example of a second-class lever is a wheelbarrow.
The effort force is applied at the handle of the shovel. The fulcrum is where your other hand goes, lower down the shaft, and the fulcrum resistance would be where the load goes on the shovel, I.E the flat bit that you hit people with!
A second-class lever has resistance between the fulcrum and the effort force. In this type of lever, the load is situated between the fulcrum and the effort, which allows for increased force output at the expense of distance traveled. Examples include nutcrackers and wheelbarrows.
In a second-class lever, the resistance is between the axis (fulcrum) and the effort. Examples include a wheelbarrow or a nutcracker.

In a catapult, the fulcrum is typically located at the base of the arm holding the projectile. The resistance is the force opposing the launch of the projectile, which is overcome by the effort applied to pull back the arm of the catapult. So, the fulcrum supports the arm, the effort is used to pull back the arm, and the resistance is the force opposing the launch.
In a scissor, the fulcrum is the pivot point around which the scissor blade rotates, the resistance force is the force opposing the cutting action exerted by the material being cut, and the effort force is the force applied by the user to bring the blades together.
