For example if you used a second class lever like a wheelbarrow to move lbs of dirt by lifting with only 50 lbs of effort, the mechanical advantage would be four. The mechanical advantage is equal to the ratio of the effort arm to resistance arm. We normally think of levers as helping us to use less effort to hold or move large loads , so our results for the forearm example might seem odd because we had to use a larger effort than the load. The bicep attaches close to the elbow so the effort arm is much shorter than the load arm and the mechanical advantage is less than one.
That means the force provided by the bicep has to be much larger than the weight of the ball. That seems like a mechanical disadvantage, so how is that helpful? If we look at how far the weight moved compared to how far the bicep contracted when lifting the weight from a horizontal position we see that the purpose of the forearm lever is to increase range of motion rather than decrease effort required.
Looking at the similar triangles in a stick diagram of the forearm we can see that the ratio of the distances moved by the effort and load must be the same as the ratio of effort arm to resistance arm.
That means increasing the effort arm in order to decrease the size of the effort required will also decrease the range of motion of the load by the same factor. For third class levers the load is always farther from the fulcrum than the effort , so they will always increase range of motion , but that means they will always increase the amount of effort required by the same factor. Even when the effort is larger than the load as for third class levers, we can still calculate a mechanical advantage , but it will come out to be less than one.
Second class levers always have the load closer to the fulcrum than the effort, so they will always allow a smaller effort to move a larger load, giving a mechanical advantage greater than one. First class levers can either provide mechanical advantage or increase range of motion , depending on if the effort arm or load arm is longer, so they can have mechanical advantages of greater, or less, than one.
A lever cannot provide mechanical advantage and increase range of motion at the same time , so each type of lever has advantages and disadvantages:. Check out the following lever simulation explore how force and distance from fulcrum each affect the equilibrium of the lever.
This simulation includes the effects of friction, so you can see how kinetic friction in the joint pivot works to stop motion and static friction contributes to maintaining static equilibrium by resisting a start of motion.
There are three types or classes of levers, according to where the load and effort are located with respect to the fulcrum. We experience forces as pushes and pulls. First class levers can have high mechanical advantage, if the fulcrum is close to the load. To recall the order of the levers use the term ' FLE ' - this will help you to remember which part of the lever is in the middle.
First class lever - F ulcrum is in the middle. Second class lever - L oad is in the middle. Third class lever - E ffort is in the middle. First, second and third class levers in the body Levers in our body are formed from bones, joints and muscles. When the liver has broken down harmful substances, its by-products are excreted into the bile or blood. Bile by-products enter the intestine and leave the body in the form of feces.
Blood by-products are filtered out by the kidneys, and leave the body in the form of urine. Health Home Conditions and Diseases.

Shaped like a cone, the liver is a dark reddish-brown organ that weighs about 3 pounds.
