Q

what are leavers

A

leavers transmit the turning effect of a force,making it easier to do work, leavers increase the distance between the pivot and your effort, creating a large momentum

17
Q

A

the weight of the objecy being lifted

18
Q

what is the effort

A

the force applied to the leaver by the person

19
Q
