True or false The fulcrum is closer to the force when a force multiplier lever is used?

False. A lever to multiply the force exerted has its fulcrum closer to the object than to the force is applied. This will increase the force but decrease the distance the object moves compared to the force end.

Do you exert more force when you are closer to the fulcrum?
do you exert more force when you are further from the fulcrum
If the fulcrum is closer to the effort is the force less?
the force is less because if the fulcrum is father away from the effort the force will increase and become greater. so if the fulcrum is closer to the effort there will be less force.
Is a wheelbarrow a force multiplier?
a froce magnifier
Is input force easier when a fulcrum is closer or farther away from the object?
Well if you mean which point would require the least amount of force then it would be when the fulcrum is at the farthest possible point because the radius would be longer causing the force to be smaller for the same amount of torque.Torque = Force x RadiusSame Decrease Increase
Is gear a force multiplier or a speed multiplier?
Both. A small driving gear and a large driven gear is a force multiplier. Whilst a large driving gear and a small driven gear is a speed multiplier

Is a bottle opener a speed or force multiplier?
Force Multiplier
How do you increase the MA of a 1st class lever?
Move the fulcrum farther from the force and closer to the load.
Is a seesaw a force multiplier or a speed multiplier?
force multiplier
Where are the load effort and fulcrum located on a second class lever?
No, the function of the fulcrum remains the same The only change would be the ratio of force to load The closer the fulcrum is the the load, the less force required to lift it The farther away the fulcrum is from the load, the more force required to lift it
Is pulley a speed multiplier or a force multiplier?
force
Is the arm lever a distance multiplier or a force multiplier?
Well, i'd say its both. depends on the case to specify when it is a force multiplier or a distance multiplier.
Can you give an example of a machine that increases speed?
You need a velocity multiplier. A common example is a bicycle wheel.

Is it true or false that as the position of the fulcrum changes the amount of force needed to move a box remains the same?
The force at the box would remain the same is true.
Is input force easier when a fulcrum is closer or farther away from the object?
