Answer 1

A class 2 lever is one where the load is between the effort and the fulcrum.

In the provided options, the best example of a class 2 lever is:

**tweezers plucking hairs.**

This is because in tweezers, the load (the hair) is between where the effort is applied (the ends where you squeeze) and the fulcrum (the pivot point closer to where the two arms of the tweezers come together).

The other examples do not represent class 2 levers:

- A car door is a class 3 lever.
- Salad tongs are generally considered class 1 levers.
- A screwdriver opening a paint can is not a lever in this context.

So, the correct answer is **tweezers plucking hairs**.
