  • Physics - Simple Machines (Levers)

    With this kind of lever, the direction of effort is not changed. Pushing up on the class-2 lever arm pushes up on the load. Pushing down on the lever arm pushes down on the load.

  • Arrangement of elements in levers

    Each kind of lever is made up of a load, a fulcrum, and an effort. A first class lever has the fulcrum between the other two elements (example: crowbar). A second class lever has the load between the other two elements (example: wheelbarrow).
