The second class lever is a form of lever where the load is in center of the fulcrum and the effort. The mechanical advantage of this lever is always greater than one. This is because on these levers the effort arm is always longer than the load arm. This means the effort arm always has to go a much longer distance than the load, so there is less effort needed to lift the load. Some examples of a second-class lever is the wheelbarrow and the bottle opener. HomeFirst ClassThird Class
