The lever has these three main parts.
What is the load, fulcrum, and effort?
100
This type of scale is used to measure the effort required to lift a load.
What is a spring scale?

What is on the flag pole?
200
This difference in the wheel makes moving a load easier or harder.
What is the diameter of the wheel?

Newton's second law claims that this will happen if the same force is applied to objects of different masses.
What is the smaller mass will move faster than the larger mass?
300
This type of helical inclined plane is often used to attach two objects together.
What is the screw?
300
A class of lever with the fulcrum in between the load and the effort.
What is a first class lever?
300
The effort required to push or pull an object.
What is force?

This will happen to the effort if the load is moved further away from the fulcrum in a second class lever.
What is increase?
400
A unit of measurement of force.
