Q

components of a lever system:
lever
effort
load

A

lever - bone that moves on a fixed point (joint)

effort - force applied to move the load

load - the resistance moved by the effort (the weight of the object)

Q

power versus speed

A

levers allow given effort to move heavier load or to move load farther or faster

mechanical advantage (power level): load is close to fulcrum, with effort fair from fulcrum 
- small effort can move large load 
mechanical disadvantage (speed lever): load is far from fulcrum, with effort close to fulcrum 
- load moved rapidly over large distance
