Question

Which letters represent the Load, Effort, and Fulcrum for the given lever diagram?

• A. Fulcrum = A; Effort = B; Load = C
• B. Fulcrum = B; Effort = C; Load = A
• C. Fulcrum = C; Effort = A; Load = B
• D. Fulcrum = B; Effort = A; Load = C

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Fulcrum = B; Effort = C; Load = A

The given picture represents a class 1 lever, which has the load and the effort on opposite sides of the fulcrum, like a seesaw. Or we can say that the fulcrum is in the middle and the load and effort are situated at the other two ends.

So, as per the given diagram, the option B is the right one. Fulcrum = B; Effort = C; Load = A
