What is 1015 am equals CLASS 926 pm equals DIGNITY 745 am equals CHARM?

What is the ideal mechanical advantage of a machine that changes only the direction of the input force?
There are three types of levers namely first, second and third class. First class levers can change the direction of input force.
Are scissors third class levers?
Yes scissors are third class levers
What makes the first class lever second class lever third class lever different?
1st order levers have the fulcrum between the load and effort arms. The mechanical advantage of these levers can be greater or less than 1, depending on the length of the arms.2nd order levers have the load portion between the effort portion and the fulcrum. These always have a mechanical advantage greater than 1. They increase the force exerted at the expense of distance.3rd order levers have the effort portion between the load portion and the fulcrum. These always have a mechanical advantage less than 1. They decrease the force exerted with a gain to the distance.
Which statement is true about the ideal mechanical advantage of a third-class lever?
mechanical advantage is the output force divided by the input force
Is a third class lever a force mulitplier or distance mulitplier?
Levers are used to multiply the mechanical force applied to a load.
What class levers are garden shears?
this is a third class lever
What is the formula for lever?
(AMA / IMA)100 Where AMA represents the actual mechanical advantage and IMA represents the Ideal Mechanical advantage. AMA = Fr/Fe where Fr equals the force of the resistance from the fulcrum, and Fe equals the force of the effort. IMA = De/Dr where De equals the Distance of the effort from the fulcrum and Dr equals the distance of the resistance from the fulcrum
What are some examples of third class levers in the body?
the arm and your wrist are two good examples of third class levers in your body
What class of lever multiplies speed?
Third class levers multiply speed but provide no mechanical advantage, usually more force is exerted because the effort is between the load and the fulcrum as in a baseball bat, tongs or a nut cracker. The speed is multiplied because the distance is multiplied.
Are pliers third class levers?

Are tongs third class levers?
Yes
