10. ________ is a bar that is free to turn about a fixed point. It has three parts, the _____, the
_________, and the ________. The point at which the lever is resting is called the _______.
11. The effort needed to lift or move a load can be reduced by:
- ______________________________________________
- ______________________________________________
12. However, the distance moved by the effort will be __________ than the disctance moved by
the load.
13. There are three types of levers:

- ________________________________
- ________________________________
14. In a first-class lever the _________ is between the _________ and __________.
15. In a second-class lever, the ________ is between the _________ and __________.

16. In both the first-class and second-class levers, the force applied as _____________ from the
fulcum as possible. Thus, the effort moves a ___________ distance than the load. However
the effort needed to move the load is _______ than the weight of the load itself.
17. The function of first-class and second-class levers is to ________________________ to
produce a greater force.
18. Give some examples of first-class levers
- ___________
- ___________
- ___________
19. Give some examples of second-class levers
- ___________
- ___________
- ___________
20. In a third-class lever, the ___________ is between the ________ and _________.
21. The function of third-class levers is to multiply the _______ of the effort so that work is
done faster. However the _________ effort is needed to move the load.
22. There are three types of pulleys:
- ___________________
- ___________________
- ___________________
23. When the pulley is fixed to a support, it is called a _______________.
24. The function of a fixed pulley is to ________________ of the effort. However, the pulley
_________ reduce the effort needed to lift the load. This is because the load and the effort
move the same ____________.
25. When a pulley is not fixed to a support, it is called a _________________. This is because it
____________ with the load.
26. When a movable pulley is used, the effort and the load move in the _________ direction.
The function of a movable pulley is to ____________________. the effort moves a greater
_____________ than the load.
27. A ______________________ is made up of more than one pulley to lift a load. They are
made up of _________ pulleys and ____________ pulleys.
28. The function of a pulley system is to ______________ to produce a greater force to lift the
load.
29. Pulley systems are commonly used on ships. This type of pulley system is usually called a
_________________________.
30. A doorhand is an example of ______________. It is made up of a________ fixed to a rod
called the ______. If door didnt have a doorknob, we would need _____________ to open a
door
31. The wheel is _______ than the axle. When the wheel turns, the axel turns too. The wheel
move a ____________ distance than the axle. Thus, we exert less effort of the axle
32. Give some examples of wheel and axle.

33. The function of an inclined plane is to ______________. This is because the effort moves the
objects over a ________ distance.

34. Give some examples of inclined planes

35. _________ are wheels with teeth on them.
