Definition
• A board or bar that rests on a turning point called the fulcrum, used to change the amount, the strength and the direction of movement.

• An object that a lever moves is called the load or load force.
• The force used to move a lever is called the effort force.

• The position of the effort force and the load can be changed by moving them to different points on the lever.
• The closer the load force is to the fulcrum, the easier it is to move.
Effort Force The load forceis easier to lift because it is closer to the fulcrum

1st Class or Class 1 Lever• The load force and
the effort force are separated by the fulcrum
• As one moves up the other moves down.
• The amount and the strength of the movement is depends on the distance from the fulcrum

2nd Class or Class 2 Lever• The load force is
between the effort force and the fulcrum.
• This lever uses mechanical advantage to make moving large weights easier.

• The effort force is between the fulcrum and the load.
• Mechanical advantage is reduced but more movement is possible.
