1st Order Lever
- Fulcrum is between the effort (in-force) and resistance
(load)- like a seesaw.
- In-force and out-force move in opposite directions.
- To move the load, the in-force must exceed the resistance
force of the load (weight).
- Greater MA (power) when the fulcrum is closer to the
load and further from the effort; greater VR (speed) when fulcrum is closer
to the effort.
