Q

Third class lever system

A
Effort is in the middle 
Every other joint except- elbow extension and ankle plantar flexion

Load - weight 
Effort - bicep
17
Q

Mechanical advantage

A

Effort arm / load-resistance arm

18
Q

Effort arm

A

Distance from the effort to the fulcrum

19
Q

Load/resistance arm

A

Distance from load to fulcrum

20
Q

Benefits of 2nd class levers

A

Can move large loads with low effort

21
Q

Benefits of 3 pro and 1st class levers

A

Increases range of movement

Increases speed of movement

22
