Question type: Essay
5) With reference to the effort and load, describe the main difference between a lever operating with a mechanical advantage versus a lever operating at a mechanical disadvantage.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Study Objective 1: SO 11.1 Describe how skeletal muscles produce movement.
Study Objective 2: SO 11.1.2 Define lever and fulcrum, and compare the three types of levers based on location of the fulcrum, effort, and load.
Section Reference 1: Sec 11.1 How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements
Solution: A lever operates at a mechanical advantage when a smaller effort can move a heavier load. The effort moves a greater distance at a faster rate than the load. A lever operates at a mechanical disadvantage when a larger effort moves a lighter load. The effort moves more slowly and for a shorter distance than the load.
6) Briefly describe the three categories of levers based on the position of their fulcrum. Give an example of each type of lever and state whether the lever works at a mechanical advantage, disadvantage or both.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Study Objective 1: SO 11.1 Describe how skeletal muscles produce movement.
Study Objective 2: SO 11.1.2 Define lever and fulcrum, and compare the three types of levers based on location of the fulcrum, effort, and load.
Section Reference 1: Sec 11.1 How Skeletal Muscles Produce Movements
Solution: If the fulcrum is between the effort and the load it is a first class lever. Scissors are an example of a first class lever. A first class lever can produce either a mechanical advantage or disadvantage depending on whether the effort or load is closer to the fulcrum. If the load is between the fulcrum and the effort, it is a second class lever. A wheel barrow is an example of a second class lever. They operate at a mechanical advantage because the load is always closer to the fulcrum than the effort. If the effort is between the fulcrum and the load, it is a third class lever. Forceps are an example of a third class lever. They operate at a mechanical disadvantage because the effort is always closer to the fulcrum than the load.
