Depends on the job at hand. The most common use is to multiply force so you can move something that weighs more than you can lift on your own. In doing this you give up distance.
Place the lever and fulcrum so that the fulcrum is close to the 'load'. When you push on the long end of the lever it moves a long distance with a small effort, The load will be lifted a shorter distance.
The length of the lever arm and the placement of the fulcrum can affect how easy it is to use a lever. A longer lever arm provides more mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift or move objects. Positioning the fulcrum closer to the load can also make it easier to use a lever by reducing the effort required.
No, a pulley does not use a fulcrum. A pulley is a simple machine that utilizes a wheel and axle to redirect the force applied to it. It works by changing the direction of the force, not by pivoting around a fulcrum like a 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.
It is used to lift a heavy object. Place the end of the lever under the rock. Then move a fulcrum (for example a small rock) under the lever close to where it goes under the rock. By moving your end of the lever a lot, you can make the shorter end move a little and lift a heavy weight.
The pivot point of a lever, also known as the fulcrum, is the point around which the lever rotates or pivots when a force is applied to one end of the lever. It is the fixed point that allows the lever to amplify force or distance. The position of the fulcrum relative to the points where the force is applied and where the load is placed determines the mechanical advantage of the lever.

Fulcrum is part of a lever.
yes it would

When you use it to pull out a nail, the curved part becomes the fulcrum and the part on the back that you use to pull out the nail and the end you would use to pound the nail in are the two ends of the lever.

A Fulcrum is a simple machine invented by the greek mathematician Archimedes who theorized that with a large enough fulcrum one could move the Earth. As for use in a sentance? Here ya go. Archimedes used a fulcrum to lift the earth.

Move the fulcrum closer to the boulder.
By placing the lever under the rock while still balancing on the fulcrum and pressing on the other end
The lever class of a hammer depends upon its use. If the hammer is used as a claw to remove a nail, it is a first class lever. When the hammer is used to strike a nail, it is a third class lever. There are three classes of levers. The difference between the classes lies in the position of the load, the effort and the fulcrum. When the fulcrum is between the load and effort, the object is a first class lever. If the load is between the fulcrum and effort, the object is a second class lever. A third class lever places the effort between the load and the fulcrum.
