3) Levers of the third order
Here the power is in the middle and the weight and fulcrum on either side. For example the flexing of the elbow of forearm. Here the elbow joint acts as fulcrum, and the distal part of hand provide resistance. The contracting biceps muscles exert the effort in between fulcrum and resista..
Levers of the 3rd Order [Class III Levers]
The diagram shows a lever in use. (i) To which class of lever does it belong? Give one example of this class. (ii) Calculate its MA if AB = 2.0 m, AF = 20 cm. (iii) Calculate the effort needed to lift the load. Suggested answer : (i) Class..

As a typical example the mechanism in Salvia is described. The flower has a bilipped corolla. There are two stamens and each stamen has two anther lobes which are separated from one another by a long connective. One anther lobe is fertile and the other is sterile. The insect lands on the..
Levers of the 1st Order [Class I Levers]
In this type of lever the effort and the resistance (load) are situated on either side of the fulcru..
1) Levers of first order
In these, the fulcrum is in the centre with weight and power on either side. For example, the joint between the first vertebra (atlas) and occipital bone of skull exhibits first class lever, in which the joint is the fulcrum, contraction of back muscle in the effort a..
2) Levers of the second order
In this the weight is in the middle between the power and the fulcrum. For example human body resting on toes. Here the toe forms the fulcrum and contracting calf muscle provides effor..
