2nd class lever:
Toes = Fulcrum
Foot = Resistance
Soleus = Effort
A second-class lever in the body is demonstrated by the action of the calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus) when performing a calf raise. The foot is the load, the ankle joint is the fulcrum, and the effort is provided by the contraction of the calf muscles to lift the body weight.
The pectoralis major muscle acts as a third-class lever in the human body. It serves as the effort force, with the fulcrum at the shoulder joint, and the resistance force at the insertion point on the humerus bone.
The human arm is an example of a third-class lever. In this type of lever system, the effort force is between the fulcrum and the resistance force. The bicep muscle provides the effort force, the elbow joint acts as the fulcrum, and the object being lifted is the resistance force.
The neck acts as a third-class lever, as the effort (muscle force) is applied between the fulcrum (cervical vertebrae) and the load (head). This allows for a wide range of motion but requires more effort from the muscles.
A human foot is a third-class lever, where the effort is applied between the load and the fulcrum. The ankle joint acts as the fulcrum, the ball of the foot is where the force is applied (effort), and the resistance (load) is at the toes.

The answer would be false. The soleus muscle is superficial to the tibia NOT the gastrocnemius.
The soleus muscle is the big muscle at the back of the calf. This muscle is what supports the leg during walking, standing, and running.
gastrocnemius
The gastrocnemius is superficial to the soleus muscle in the lower leg.
A hammer is a class 3 lever. The force, your muscle, is between the fulcrum, your elbow, and the load, the hammer.
Someone using a short method refering to the calf muscles. Gastrocnemius muscle and Soleus muscle. I'm not sure if "gastrosoleus" is a proper name.
The soleus.
soleus
Gastrocnemius
soleus
The main muscle used would be the tibialis anterior
