Q

First-class lever

A

uncommon; the load and force sit on either side of the fulcrum in the same way as a seesaw.
EX: head resting on the vertebral column which acts as the fulcrum, the contraction of the posterior neck muscles provides the effort, the anterior portion of the skull (load) is lifted

Q

Second-class lever

A

uncommon; the load is between the fulcrum and the effort.
EX: is raising yourself on your toes. The fulcrum is based at the front of the foot, the load is the weight of the body, and the force is applied through the Achilles tendon in the heel. This creates a mechanical advantage because the load is closer to the fulcrum than the effort as in a wheelbarrow

Q

Third-class lever

A

common; the force is applied between the load and the fulcrum.
EX: biceps brachii. When flexing the elbow, the elbow is the fulcrum and the force applied by the contracting biceps brachii muscle is the effort. The weight of the forearm and any object a person is carrying in their hand is the load

Q
