Question

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

• A. The effort is in between load and fulcrum.
• 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 at two ends of the lever, and the fulcrum lies between the two. If the fulcrum comes between load and effort, it is a class 1 lever. (Fulcrum need not necessarily be exactly in the middle).
