Question

For class 1 lever, which of the following statement is true?

• A. Fulcrum lies exactly at the midpoint of load and effort.
• B. The effort is between load and fulcrum.
• C. The load is in between effort and fulcrum.
• D. Fulcrum always lies between load and effort.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Fulcrum always lies between load and effort.

In class 1 lever, load and effort both are one end each, and the fulcrum lies between the two. Irrespective of the position of the fulcrum, if it comes between load and effort, it is a class 1 lever. (Not necessary to be exactly in the middle).
