A lever is a simple machine which is capable of turning about one point or axis (fulcrum) and in which two or more other points are applied. Levers are used for modifying and transmitting force and motion. Lever is divided into three classes based on the location of fulcrum, load and effort. They include; first, second and third class levers.

What distinguishes first class levers from second and third class levers is the different location of the fulcrum, load and effort in each of them. First class levers have the fulcrum situated between the effort and load, second class levers have the load situated between the effort and the fulcrum, while the third class lever have the effort situated between the load and the fulcrum.

The position of the Fulcrum, load and effort distinguishes between various classes of levers.

The first class lever have the fulcrum positioned between the load and the effort while the second class lever have the load between the fulcrum and the effort, while the third class lever have the effort positioned between the fulcrum, and the load.

Further Explanation. Levers are examples of a simple machine which make work easier by reducing the amount of force that is needed to lift or move an object from its original position. Classes of levers First class This is a class of levers in which the position of the fulcrum is between the load and the effort. That is the load movement is opposite to the direction of the effort. Examples of levers in this class, include, seesaw, scissors, a pair of pliers, crowbar, etc.

Second class

It is a class of levers that have the position of the load located between the fulcrum and the effort. Examples of levers in the second class include; wheel barrow, nut cracker, crowbar, etc. In this class the movement of the load is in the same direction as that of the effort. Third class This is a class of levers in which the position of the effort is between the load and the fulcrum The effort and the load are in the same direction. Examples of levers in this class include; mousetrap, broom, stapler, hockey stick, etc.
