That's actually only possible in a First Class lever. In that case, moving the
fulcrum closer to the load makes it easier to lift the load, since it now takes
less force at the effort end. But the effort force also has to move through a
greater distance than it did before, in order to lift the load to the same height.

How would you set up a lever so that it has a mechanical advantage greater than 1?
Move the fulcrum point so it is more than halfway toward the object being moved.
Why is there a fulcrum on a seesaw?
A seesaw is a basic lever and by definition it has a fulcrum. Without the fulcrum, there would be no point for the seesaw to operate on.
What is the pivot point on lever called?
Fulcrum would be the answer.
What the solid bar that rests on a fulcrum?
The lever? There are probably other names for it, but i was always taught the fulcrum, lever, and load. Load closer to fulcrum, easier to lift load. (longer lever= mechanical advantage) This would fall under simple machines in science class.
What is the fulcrum of the can opener?
If you are talking about a hand held manual can opener then the fulcrum would be the rim of the can against which you engage the little notch before you exert pressure upwards on the handle to open the can.
How would you set up a lever so that it has a mechanical advantage greater than 1?
Move the fulcrum point so it is more than halfway toward the object being moved.
What would most likely happen if a fulcrum were moved to the left and placed between two empty book holders?
If the book holders are shorter than the fulcrum then it can still function are a fulcrum. If the book holders are taller than the fulcrum then it can't function as a fulcrum.
Would you receive less solar radiation if you moved from the equator toward the north pole?
Yes. You would also have exactly the same experienceif you moved toward the south pole instead.
Why is there a fulcrum on a seesaw?
A seesaw is a basic lever and by definition it has a fulcrum. Without the fulcrum, there would be no point for the seesaw to operate on.
Jim was clearing trash from his yard so that the construction crew could begin his pool There was one large rock that needed to be moved Why would it be easier for Jim if he used a lever and fulcrum?
The lever and fulcrum decrease the amount of force needed to move the rock
Where on your arm would you find the fulcrum?
The elbow in the hand is analogous to the fulcrum in a lever
Where is the effort and fulcrum on a swing?
The fulcrum is the swing hinges and the effort is the seat, you sitting in it would be the load.
Fulcrum in a sentence?
A Fulcrum is a simple machine invented by the greek mathematician Archimedes who theorized that with a large enough fulcrum one could move the Earth. As for use in a sentance? Here ya go. Archimedes used a fulcrum to lift the earth.
What machine would you find a fulcrum?
It's a tool
What machine would find a fulcrum?
It's a tool
What is the pivot point on lever called?
Fulcrum would be the answer.
What is a fulcrum for a biceps curl?
The fulcrum in this case would be your elbow joints. more specifically the trochlea and capitulum on the humerus which articulate with the radius and ulna
