Question Answer
Lever systems 1-2-3 F-L-E Fulcrum-Load-Effort
Lever systems F-L-E Fulcrum-Pivot point Load-Weight Effort-Muscular contraction
Lever systems 1st class lever system Extension E-F-L or L-F-E
Lever systems 2nd class lever system Plantar flexion F-L-E or E-F-L
Lever systems 3rd class lever system Flexion F-E-L or L-E-F
Effort arm Distance between F and E
Load arm Distance between F and L
Mechanical advantage Where the Load arm shorter than the effort arm. Therefore it takes less effort to produce a greater force. 2nd class lever= Mechanical advantage BC effort arm is greater than the load arm
Mechanical disadvantage Where the Load arm is longer than the Effort arm. Therefore it takes more effort to produce the same amount of force
