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.

This is a second-class lever. The resistance force is located between the effort force and the fulcrum in this type of lever. An example of a second-class lever is a wheelbarrow.
No, a screwdriver is an example of a first-class lever, not a third-class lever. In a first-class lever, the fulcrum is located in between the effort force and the load. A third-class lever has the effort force placed between the fulcrum and the load.
A class 1 lever does not multiply input force. In this type of lever, the fulcrum is positioned between the effort force and the load, resulting in no mechanical advantage gained. An example of a class 1 lever is a see-saw.
To calculate the mechanical advantage of a lever, you need to know the input force (the force applied to the lever) and the output force (the force exerted by the lever). The mechanical advantage is then calculated by dividing the output force by the input force.
Scissors are an example of a class 1 lever, where the fulcrum is located between the input force (your hand) and the output force (the blades).

The human arm is an example of a third-class lever. In this type of lever system, the effort force is between the fulcrum and the resistance force. The bicep muscle provides the effort force, the elbow joint acts as the fulcrum, and the object being lifted is the resistance force.
The class of lever where the fulcrum is between the input force and the output force is a class 1 lever. In this type of lever, the load is on one side of the fulcrum, while the effort (input force) is applied on the other side. An example of a class 1 lever is a seesaw.
A seesaw is a common example of a lever in a playground. Children sitting on each end are able to move up and down by applying force, demonstrating the principles of a lever.
Yes. For example, a lever does that.
That would be a Second Class Lever. An example is a Wheel Barrow. The wheel axle is the fulcrum, the handles and Bin are the lever, and of course the load is in the bin.
A hammer pulling a nail out is an example of a lever because the hammer acts as the lever, the nail acts as the fulcrum, and the force applied by our hand is the effort. When we apply force to the handle of the hammer, it creates a turning effect that lifts the nail from the surface, similar to how a lever functions.
A class three lever is where the load is one side of the force and the fulcrum is on the other side of the force. An example is a pair of tweezers. Another example is the secondary lever in a pair of fingernail clips, i.e. the part that closes on the fingernail. (The first lever in a pair of fingernail clips, i.e. the part that you press on, is an example of a second class lever.)
