the point where force is applied to the lever
B
the object being lifted or moved
C
the point the lever balances, or pivots, on
D
the spot where the lever is weakest
2) On a lever, the load is...
A
the object being lifted or moved
B
the point where force is applied to the lever
C
the center of gravity
D
the point the lever balances, or pivots, on
3) On a lever, the effort is...
A
the point where force is applied to the lever
B
the object being lifted or moved
C
the point the lever balances, or pivots, on
D
the spot where the load is placed
4) In a 1st class lever, the fulcrum should be placed....
A
as close to the load as possible
B
as far away from the load as possible
C
in the exact middle
D
as close to the effort as possible
5) In a 2nd class lever, the load should be placed....
A
in the exact middle
B
as close to the fulcrum as possible
C
as far away from the fulcrum as possible
D
as close to the effort as possible
6) In a 3rd class lever, the effort should be applied
A
as close to the load as possible
B
as far from the load as possible
C
as close to the fulcrum as possible
D
in the exact center
7) In a 1st class lever, the

A
fulcrum is between the effort and the load
B
fulcrum can be placed anywhere

multiply the length of the load arm by the length of the effort arm
C
divide the length of the effort arm by the length of the load arm
D
multiply the length of the effort arm by the length of the load arm

apply that force over a longer distance
C
apply that force over a shorter time
