What class of levers allows you to increase the force that must be applied?
GPT-4o mini
In a lever system, the class of levers that allows you to increase the force that must be applied is called a **class 2 lever**. In a class 2 lever, the load is positioned between the effort (force applied) and the fulcrum (pivot point). This arrangement allows you to exert a smaller effort over a longer distance to lift a heavier load, effectively increasing the force you can apply to the load. A common example of a class 2 lever is a wheelbarrow.
