Question

what kind of lever is spade?​

Answer 1

Answer:

levers also have the fulcrum at one end. But here the effort is in between the fulcrum and the load. Examples are forearm holding weight (here the elbow is the fulcrum), knife, a spade. A catapult is a large class–3 lever system used in ancient times to launch heavy objects.

Answer 2

Spade is a kind of third-class lever.

• The Force is between the Load and the Fulcrum in a Class Three Lever. It would be easier to lift and there would be a mechanical advantage if the Force was closer to the Load.
• This type of lever needs more effort to move the load, but the end consequence is that the load may be moved further in less time.
• Hence, Spade is a kind of third-class lever.
