3) The object you are trying to lift is called the
a) load
b) effort
c) force
4) In the class three lever, the ??? is between the fulcrum and ???
5) A class two lever will always produce a mechanical advantage of ??? than 1
6) Why is the mechanical advantage of a lever usually closer to its ideal mechanical advantage when compared to other simple machines?
Inclined Planes:
1) What is the inclined plane?
