The diagram below shows a lever in use. Which class of lever is it?
Class III
Class I
Class II
Class I and III both
Load is in the middle (between F and E) hence class II
A man uses a crowbar of length 2.5 m to raise a load of 75 kgf by putting a sharp edge below the bar at a distance 1 m from his hand. State the kind of lever used and calculate the effort needed.

The figure below shows a lever in use.
(a) To which class of lever does it belong?
(b) If AB = 1m, AF = 0.4 m, find its mechanical advantage.
(c) Calculate the value of E.
