Presentation transcript:

A lever is a machine consisting of a beam or rigid rod pivoted at a fixed hinge or fulcrum. A lever amplifies an input force to provide a greater output force, which is said to provide leverage. The ratio of the output force to the input force is the mechanical advantage of the lever.

A wheelbarrow is a second class lever A wheelbarrow is a second class lever. Your hands on the handles give the effort. The load inside the wheel-barrow is the resistance. The wheel is the fulcrum. When you lift up the handles, the load goes up in the same direction. The wheelbarrow always uses less force to lift the load, which makes work easier. This is because the resistance is always closer to the fulcrum than the effort.
