What are Examples of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Class Levers?

Answer: A simple mechanism with a fulcrum and a rigid beam is what a lever consists of. The load (output force) and effort (input force) are exerted on either end of the beam. The fulcrum is the pivot point of the beam. A weight is applied to the other end of the lever when exertion is given to one end of the lever. This will cause a mass to rise. The amount of force required to rotate an object about its axial point is torque (or pivot point).

First-Class Lever

The fulcrum of this kind of lever is positioned between the weight and the force exerted. The force-fulcrum-weight order is used to represent it. It is the most basic form of lever. 

Example

• Seesaws, crowbars, or our hands pressing an object
• A wheel and axle is the example
• Also, pulling a nail from a hardwood plank is a first-class lever

Second-Class Lever

The fulcrum is basically at one end, while the force is applied at the other. The weight is in the centre of these two options. 

Examples

• Wheelbarrow
• Staplers 
• Openers for bottles
• Nutcrackers

Third-Class Lever

At one end of the lever, the pressure is delivered in the centre, and the weight is at the opposite end. 

Examples

• Rod for fishing
• A floor-sweeping tool
• A bat is used in baseball.
• An arrow and a bow
• The jaw of a human
