Question

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

• A. Load and effort both are hung with the help of a rope.
• 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 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).
