Do the fulcrum is part of the bar which moves or carries the load?
The fulcrum is the part that the bar sits on to form a lever. The output arm is the part that the load sits on.
What happens when the fulcrum is further from the load?
The closer the load is to the fulcrum the greater the mechanical advantage. The closer to the fulcrum, the less the load moves when the lever is used.
The wheels are fulcrums what is the load and the lever?

Is a trebuchet a Force Magnifier or a Distance Magnifier?
I'm unsure as to what exactly a distance magnifier is so hopefully someone with expertise in trebuchets can add to this. However I am confident that a trebuchet works on the principle of a lever. A lever is a force magnifier. Yet a trebuchet also uses a sling to launch the projectile in a parabolic arc which has the effect of increasing the distance, so perhaps it qualifies as both? A lever is most often used as a force multiplier, where the load moves through a smaller distance than the applied force, but in the case of a trebuchet the lever is used in the opposite sense. The load moves through a greater distance than the applied force and so the trebuchet is a distance multiplier.
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.

What is the definition of a load of a lever?
Load = the force of the weight of the lever fulcrum = the point of which the lever rests effort = the force you apply to the lever

What are advantages and disadvantages of first class lever?
Range of Motion The load moves shorter distance than the effort.

What do fulcrums help?
A fulcrum is the point of tuning for a lever. Since a fulcrum is essential for a lever, it does not help but rather is needed. The lever and fulcrum are used to move or hold objects. Levers can be used change the amount of force needed to alter a system of load, lever, and effort. The position of the fulcrum determines the force needed to change the natural equilibrium. There are three classes of levers divided in accordance to the position of the fulcrum. The first class of lever is typically used in a gravitational field with a load at one end of the lever, the fulcrum closer to the load than the middle of the lever, and a force applied near the other end of the lever. The important point is that the fulcrum is between the two forces and on the opposite side. If the lever is longer on the force side, the force needed to move the load is less than the weight of the load, but the load travels a smaller distance than the applied force point moves. This would be used possibly to lift an heavy object. By placing the fulcrum close to the point of force, the load moves farther than the applying force. This can be demonstrated by observing a trebuchet (commonly referred to as a catapult) The second class of lever places the load and the force on the same side of the fulcrum with the load closer to the fulcrum than the applied force. An example of this is the wheelbarrow. Again, the force needed to lift the load is less than the weight of the load. The third class of lever places the force between the fulcrum and the load. Examples of uses for this are chopsticks or ice tongs.
When the load is at a constant position on the lever arm how can you make it easier to lift the load?
when the load is at a constant position on the lever arm, how can you make it easier to life the load?
