What kind of a lever is a clothespin?

A clothespin is a class 1 lever, where the fulcrum is on one end and the effort is applied on the other end to lift or move the load on the third end.


Why can a clothespin be a class 1 lever and a class 3 lever?

because In a Type 1 Lever, the pivot (fulcrum) is between the effort and the load. In an off-center type one lever (like a pliers), the load is larger than the effort, but is moved through a smaller distance. Examples of common tools (and other items) that use a type 1 lever include and in a Type 3 Lever, the effort is between the pivot (fulcrum) and the load.


Can a lever be more than one class?

No, a lever can only be classified as one of three classes based on the relative positions of the fulcrum, load, and effort: first-class, second-class, or third-class. Each class has different characteristics and applications.
