Question

Answer the following question in one word each

To which class of levers does a beam balance belong?

Answer 1

1. It belongs to class 1 levers.
2. Class 1 levers consist of those machines which have a fulcrum in between the load and effort.
3. In one pan we have the objects whose load is to be measured and in the other pan we carry the weight for measurements.
4. Both the effort arm and load arm are equal to each other.
5. Load and effort take the end locations, while the fulcrum will lie in between.

Hence, beam balance belongs to class 1 lever.
