The example that represents a class 2 lever is **salad tongs picking up salad**.
In a class 2 lever, the load is located between the effort (the force applied) and the fulcrum (the pivot point). In the case of salad tongs, the salad (load) is between the points where you apply force (the handles) and the pivot point (the hinge of the tongs).
