Types of levers

Levers are simple tools that amplify force to perform jobs that would otherwise require much more effort. They are classified into three main types according to the position of the fulcrum (the support point), the load force (the weight or resistance to move) and the applied force (the effort made by the user). These are the types of levers:

First Degree Lever: In these levers, the fulcrum is located between the applied force and the load. This type of lever can move heavy objects with less effort and change the direction of the applied force. Common examples include the scale, the swing, and the stick cutter. They offer the advantage of being able to exert a large force on the load with a relatively small applied force, depending on the distance between the fulcrum and the point where the force is applied.

Second Degree Lever: Here, the load is between the fulcrum and the applied force. This arrangement increases the force applied to the load, although it does not change the direction of the force. Typical examples are the handcart, the nut in a nutcracker, and the landing wheels on some types of airplanes. Second degree levers are especially useful when you need to lift heavy loads with less effort.

Third Degree Lever: In this type, the applied force is between the fulcrum and the load. Although this type of lever requires more force to move a load than the other types, it allows for greater speed and distance of movement of the load. Examples of third-degree levers include the fishing rod, tweezers, and the human arm. They are ideal for situations where control and speed of movement are more critical than reducing the force needed to move a load.

Each type of lever has its specific applications depending on the task to be performed, offering unique advantages in terms of applied force, direction of force and distance or speed of movement. In the DIY and construction field, recognizing the most appropriate type of lever for each task can significantly improve work efficiency and safety.
