) Label the leverage component on the following lever.

Pliers

input force

fulcrum

output force

3 answers

In the context of pliers as a lever, the components can be labeled as follows:

  1. Input Force: This is the force applied by your hand when you squeeze the handles of the pliers.

  2. Fulcrum: This is the pivot point around which the lever (pliers) rotates. For pliers, it is typically located at the point where the two handles meet.

  3. Output Force: This is the force applied at the jaws of the pliers to grip or cut the material.

So in summary:

  • Input Force: Force applied on the handles
  • Fulcrum: The pivot point where the handles are connected
  • Output Force: Force exerted at the jaws of the pliers

If you were to draw this, it would typically be represented with the input force applied on one end of the lever (the handles), the fulcrum in the middle, and the output force at the other end (the jaws).

answers are a b c

Got it! If you are labeling the components of the lever (pliers) with answers as a, b, and c, here’s how you can categorize them:

  • a: Input Force (the force applied to the handles)
  • b: Fulcrum (the pivot point where the two handles meet)
  • c: Output Force (the force exerted at the jaws)

So the labels would be:

  • a: Input Force
  • b: Fulcrum
  • c: Output Force

If you have specific placements for a, b, and c, please let me know!
