In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is positioned between the effort force and the resistance force. The fulcrum acts as a pivot point where the lever rotates around.
No, a knife is not a 1st class lever. A 1st class lever is a system where the fulcrum is positioned between the effort and the load. In the case of a knife, it typically functions more like a 3rd class lever where the effort is between the fulcrum and the load, such as when cutting through food.
A wheelbarrow is a 2nd class lever, where the load (the weight being carried) is in the middle, the effort (force applied to lift the load) is at one end (the handles), and the fulcrum (pivot point) is at the other end (the wheel).
No, a screwdriver is an example of a first-class lever where the fulcrum is in the middle. In a third-class lever, the effort is between the fulcrum and the load.
A fly swatter is a class-3 lever because the fulcrum is at the bottom, the effort is in the middle, and the load is at the end.
Levers can be all of them. A first class lever is when the pivot (funcrum) is in the middle. A second class lever has the load (resistance) in the middle, and the third class lever has the effort (force) in the middle. For example, a see-saw is a first class lever because the fulcrum is the in middle. A exmaple for a second class lever would be a can opener because the load, the can, is in the middle. And last, the thrid class lever is a arm because the effort is in the middle, because your elbow gives the effort to move the arm.
1st class lever3rd class lever
Yes, a trolley is considered a second class lever. A hammer is considered a third class lever. Also, a clothes pin is considered a third class lever.
The answer to the question is: "No." A shock absorber is not a lever at all.

In a first class lever the fulcrum is at the middle. load and effort are applied at two ends. eg scissors. In second class lever fulcrum is at one end and effort is at other end. The load is at the middle. eg nutcracker.

the fulcrum's in the middle and yes a lever is a seesaw...
