which list correctly orders effort (E) , fulcrum (F), and load (L) for each lever class? (1 point)

1 answer

The three classes of levers are categorized based on the relative positions of the effort (E), fulcrum (F), and load (L). Here’s the correct order for each class:

  1. First-Class Lever: F - E - L (Fulcrum is between the effort and load)

    • Example: Seesaw
  2. Second-Class Lever: E - F - L (Load is between the effort and fulcrum)

    • Example: Wheelbarrow
  3. Third-Class Lever: E - L - F (Effort is between the load and fulcrum)

    • Example: Tweezers

So, the orders are as follows:

  • First-Class Lever: F - E - L
  • Second-Class Lever: E - F - L
  • Third-Class Lever: E - L - F
