  • A class one lever has a fulcrum between the load and the effort arm in order to make a load easier to lift.
  • Their is some friction between the fulcrum and the plank.
  • The closer the fulcrum goes to the load or output force the easier the load is to lift.
  • The Ideal mechanical advantage is more than one when the effort arm is longer than the load arm.
  • The ideal mechanical advantage is equal to one when the fulcrum is directly in the middle.
  • The ideal mechanical advantage is less than one when the load arm is longer than the effort arm.
