Answer:
A mousetrap makes use of a simple machine called a lever.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a second-class lever the effort force is at the other end, with the load in the middle. In a third-class lever, the load is at the end and the effort force is between the fulcrum and the load. When you set the mousetrap, you are using a second-class lever. Sorry if I get this wrong. I am in 5th grade! ♥
