A class I lever has the fulcrum:
AAt one end in standard practice
BBetween the effort and the load
COn the load side only
DOutside the lever
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Between the effort and the load
1. Class I levers have the fulcrum between effort and load.
2. Examples include a seesaw and a pair of scissors.
3. Class II has load in the middle; Class III has effort in the middle.
4. So Class I = fulcrum in the middle.
