Question

Describe each class of lever and explain to characteristics of each

Answer 1

First Class of Lever: In this, Fulcrum is always changes the direction of the input force and can be used to increase the force or the distance. Second Class of Lever: In this, Fulcrum does not change direction of the input force & Output force is greater than the input force. Third Class of Lever: In this, the input force is between the fulcrum and the load does not change the direction of the input force. Here, Output force is less than input force.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

-- Class I lever

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage can be anything, more or less than 1 .

Example: a see-saw

-- Class II lever

The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.

The Mechanical Advantage is always greater than 1 .

Example: a nut-cracker, a garlic press

-- Class III lever

The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage is always less than 1 .

I can't think of an example right now.
