The gluteus medius and minimus abduct the hip joint. When you are standing on the right foot, the body tends to till towards the left side. The right gluteus med and min abduct to pull the body towards the right side. This way, our balance is maintained. In this situation, (1) it is the pelvis rather than the thigh that is abducted; (this causes the trunk to flex towards the right); (2) the pivot is the right hip joint; (3) the force is the outward and downward pull of the right gluteal muscles on the pelvis; and (4) the load is the body weight. It is a Class 1 lever mechanism. (An illustration in a general Anatomical Atlas from a popular Germany publisher appears wrong.)
When you are walking, the right gluteus med and min abduct to raise your right foot. In this situation, (1) the pivot is again the right hip joint; (2) the force is the outward and upward pull on the thigh; (3) the load is the weight of the right thigh, leg and foot. The insertion of the muscles are very near the hip joint, whereas the centre of gravity of the lower limb should be farther await from it. It is presumably a Class 3 lever mechanism.

What type of lever is hairbrush?
A hairbrush is a third-class lever, where the force is applied between the fulcrum (pivot point) and the load (hair being brushed).
What class of lever is a carjack?
A carjack is a class 2 lever because the load (the car being lifted) is between the effort (the force applied to the handle) and the fulcrum (the contact point with the ground).
What type of lever is the axe?
An axe is a type of lever known as a class 1 lever. In a class 1 lever, the fulcrum is located between the effort (in this case, your hand on the handle) and the load (the wood being chopped).
Is a axe a class 1 lever or a class 2 lever or a class 3 lever?
An axe is a class 1 lever because the fulcrum (pivot point) is between the effort (force applied by the user) and the load (object being cut). When the user applies force to the handle, the axe head exerts that force on the object being cut.
Which class lever beam balance?
A class 1 lever is typically used in a beam balance. In this type of lever, the fulcrum is located between the effort (applied force) and the load (object being weighed). This arrangement allows for precise and accurate measurement of weight.
Is a crane a class 1 lever or a class 2 lever or a class 3 lever?
A crane is a first class lever when it is winching in or out the rope attached to a load. The crane becomes 3rd class lever when it's boom is luffing, i.e. it is being lowererd or raised.
