A class 2 lever is characterized by the load being positioned between the effort (force applied) and the fulcrum (pivot point). An example of a class 2 lever is a wheelbarrow. In this setup, the wheel (fulcrum) is at one end, the load is placed in the bucket of the wheelbarrow (in the middle), and the person lifting the handles applies effort at the other end. Other examples include a pair of nutcrackers or a bottle opener, where the load is positioned between the effort applied and the pivot point.
