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 three kinds of levers are classified based on the relative positions of the effort, the resistance, and the fulcrum. In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is between the effort and the resistance. In a second-class lever, the resistance is between the fulcrum and the effort. In a third-class lever, the effort is between the fulcrum and the resistance.
In a second-class lever, the resistance is between the axis (fulcrum) and the effort. Examples include a wheelbarrow or a nutcracker.
a 1st class lever there are 3 types of levers, 1st 2nd and 3rd class. 1st: fulcrum between effort and resistance 2nd:resistance between fulcrum and effort 3rd: effort between fulcrum and resistance Fulcrum = a pivot point on a lever. Effort = force applied on lever Resistance = load 1st example:see-saw/scissors 2nd example:wheelbarrow/car door 3rd example:someone raking/ hockey stick being usued
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.
On a second class lever, the effort is applied at one end of the lever, while the resistance is located in the middle of the lever, between the effort and the fulcrum.

A Lever comprises of three components:Fulcrum or Pivot - the point about which the lever rotatesLoad or Resistance - the object that requires movingEffort - the force applied by the user of the lever system
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.
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.
