• 3
• 4

The resistance force and the effort force are on the opposite sides of the fulcrum in this.

• First class

• Third Class
• Fourth Class

If you want to decrease the effort force when using a lever, where will you move the fulcrum? 

• Closer to the object you want to move
• Farther away from the object you want to move
