Solution
Question 1: A lever is a rigid rod which turns around a fixed point.
Question 2: A lever is used to lift and/or move heavy objects.
Question 3: We can find levers in many simple and heavy duty machines.
Question 4: The three parts of a lever are the effort, the fulcrum, and the load.
Question 5: The lever's effort is a pull or push force.
Question 6: The fulcrum or pivot point is the point around which the load and effort turn.
Question 7: The load is the object that works against or resists the pulling/pushing force.
Question 8: There are three classes of levers.
Question 9: We can tell the difference between the different classes depending on which part of a lever is in the middle.
Question 10: The shortcut to remembering the three classes is FLEece.
Question 11: A first-class lever is a lever with the pivot-point in the middle.
Question 12: An example of a first-class lever is a seesaw.
Question 13: A second-class lever is a lever with the load in the middle.
Question 14: An example of a second-class lever is a wheelbarrow.
Question 15: A third-class lever is a lever with the effort in the middle.
Question 16: An example of a third-class lever is tweezers.
Question 17: A simple linked system is a lever with two pivot points.

While researching a topic, a student has taken thefollowing notes:• A lever is a simple machine consisting of a rigidbeam and a fulcrum.• The fulcrum is the point about which the beampivots.• The input force (effort) is the force applied to thelever.• The output force (load) is the force that the leverexerts on another object.• In first-class levers, the fulcrum is located betweenthe effort and the load.• In second-class levers, the load is located betweenthe effort and the fulcrum.The student wants to contrast first-class levers andsecond-class levers. Which choice most effectivelyuses relevant information from the notes toaccomplish this goal?A) In levers, the effort is the force applied to thelever; the load, in contrast, is the force that thelever exerts on another object.B) In first-class and second-class levers, the fulcrumand the load are in different locations.C) First-class levers are simple machines consistingof a rigid beam and a fulcrum, but then again,the same is true of second-class levers.D) In first-class levers, the fulcrum is locatedbetween the effort and the load, but insecond-class levers, the load is located betweenthe effort and the fulcrum.
