Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of a lever?

  • To convert linear motion to reciprocating motion
  • To provide rotational motion
  • To change the amount of effort or force needed to move a load (correct)
  • To convert oscillating motion to linear motion

    • Which of the following is NOT one of the four types of motion described in the text?

  • Linear motion
  • Reciprocating motion
  • Circular motion (correct)
  • Rotating motion

    • In a first-class lever, where is the fulcrum located?

  • On the same side as the load
  • At the end of the lever
  • Between the load and the effort (correct)
  • On the same side as the effort

    • If the effort is further from the fulcrum than the load in a lever, what is the result?
