Second class lever. . . . Always greater than 1 .

Third class lever . . . . . Always less than 1 .

First class lever . . . . . Can be greater than 1 or less than 1 depending on position of fulcrum.

Why is a nutcracker is second class?

A lever that has the load between the fulcrum and the effort is known as a second order lever. Once again, the further away the effort is from the fulcrum and the load the greater the mechanical advantage of the lever.

When is mechanical advantage increased by a first class lever?

The mechanical advantage is when the fulcrum is closer to the effort and creates a advantage


Why is the mechanical advantage of second class levers is always greater than 1?

Because the load is always between the effort and the fulcrum, so the effort arm is always longer than the load arm.


How are second class levers and third class levers similar?

Depending on condition of course. 3 boxes and taken care of $2200 easy. Dont let anyone tell you differently. These guns are extremely rare and people will tell you they are far less with the intent of making people think that are not as valuable as they are. As time goes on of course, they become more and more valuable. These were "working" guns for those serious about accuracy etc... Because of this very few of them are in excellent condition.


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.


What is a second class lever mechanical advantage if it takes only 30 pound to lift a 120 pound bag of soil?

If a force of 30 pounds lifts a load of 120 pounds, it sounds to me like the mechanical advantage must be 4, regardless of what kind of contraption you used to accomplish it.
