Does a lever pivot on a fulcrum or a torque?
Fulcrum. Torque is the force applied to move the lever
What is a lever's effort arm?
It is the part of a lever, where external force is applied in order to do work.
Part of a lever on which effort force is applied?
Third class.
What is the part of a lever on which the effort force is applied is called?
Fulcrum
Where is the input force in a lever?
generally some kinetic energy is applied, probably from you pushing on the lever
What is the name for the effect a force has when it is applied to one end of a lever and tries to turn the lever?
torque
Levers explain how the force applied by a lever is affected by its distance from the fulcrum?
On the side on which the force is being applied, the distance and force are directly proportional. On the other side of the lever, they are inversely proportional. If 1 pound of force is applied to a lever at 1 foot on the left side of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 1 pound of force 1 foot from the right side of the fulcrum. If 1 pound of force is applied 2 feet left of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 2 pounds of force 1 foot from the right side. If 1 pound is applied 4 feet left of the fulcrum, the lever will apply 4 pounds of force 1 foot to the right of the fulcrum. If 1 pound of force is applied 1 foot left of the fulcrum, at 2 feet on the right side, the force will be 1/2 pound. At four feet, it will be 1/4 pound. Etc,
Is a force an example of a lever?
No, the force is applied to the lever, but is not an example of a lever. A lever is made up of a fulcrum, a force/load, and a force arm.-there are three types of levers-1st Class-The fulcrum is between the force arm and the resistance arm.ex:Seesaws, crowbars, and oars.-2nd Class-The resistance is between the force arm and the fulcrum.ex: Wheelbarrows and nutcrackers.-3rd Class-The force is applied between the resistance and the fulcrum.ex: Brooms and a kicking leg.Hope this helps.a08Deevic88www.ETangerineE.webs.com
How do you reduce the force of a lever?
The force a lever can apply to a given point greatly depends on two distances:The distance from the pivot point to the object to be lifted and the distance from the pivot point to the point on the lever where force will be applied.To reduce the distance from the pivot-point to the point where Force is applied is to reduce the "force" of a lever.
Is a force a lever?
No. A lever is a simple machine that redirects and multiplies the force applied to it. You press down on one end and whatever is on the other end goes up.
Which is the term for the point on which a lever pivots?
The fulcrum. A Lever is a rigid rod to which a force can be applied to overcome a resistance. The point at which a lever pivots is called the fulcrum.
