Level system
a machine consisting of a rigid bone that is capable of rotating about an axis, it can convert applied force into torque
3 basic components of a lever
effort (muscle force), resistance (weight or load), and fulcrum (joint/axis which lever rotates)
Classification of levers
arrangement of applied force, fulcrum, and resistance determine if 1st, 2nd, or 3rd class; class determines the levers strengths and weaknesses
