Question

The figure displays a lemon crusher. Name the class of the lever.

• A. Class I and Class II lever
• B. Class III lever
• C. Class II lever
• D. Class I lever

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Class II lever

In the lemon crusher shown, the lemon (load) is at the middle, the fulcrum of the crusher is at one end and the push given by hand (effort) is at the other end. So, a lemon crusher is a class II lever.
In a class II lever, the load is in between the effort and fulcrum.
