Question

In a fishing rod, effort is applied in between load and fulcrum.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

$\text{Solution}:$

1. The fishing rod is a third-class lever, with the fulcrum on one end of the rod, the input force close to the fulcrum, and the output force at the other end of the rod.

2. The output distance is greater than the input distance, so the angler can fling the fishing line far out into the water with just a flick of the wrist.

$\text{Hence A is the correct option}$
