A class 2 lever is a type of lever where the load is situated between the effort and the fulcrum. This means that when the effort is applied, it moves in the same direction as the load, but with a greater force. In a class 2 lever, the fulcrum is located at one end, the effort is applied at the other end, and the load is positioned in between.
One example of a class 2 lever is a wheelbarrow. In a wheelbarrow, the wheel serves as the fulcrum, the handles are where the effort is applied, and the load (such as dirt or rocks) is placed in the bin between the wheel and handles. When you push down on the handles, the wheelbarrow lifts the load upwards.
