1. THE 3 TYPES OF LEVERS Give me a place to stand on, and I will move the Earth. -Archimedes

2. A Lever is a simple machine used to decrease the amount of force used to move an object. WHAT IS A LEVER? Math.nyu.edu

3. Fulcrum This is the point where the lever turns. Effort This is the force used to move the load. It acts in the opposite direction of the weight. Load this is the weight on the lever. It is moved by the force. WHAT ARE THE PARTS OF A LEVER?

4. FIRST CLASS LEVER Effort Load Fulcrum

5. SECOND CLASS LEVER Load Fulcrum Effort

6. THIRD CLASS LEVER Load Fulcrum Effort
