    Ashutosh papel
    This document discusses the three classes of levers and how they help lift heavy objects. It defines the key parts of a lever as the lever itself, the fulcrum it balances on, and the load and force. For a first class lever, the load and force are on opposite sides of the fulcrum. A second class lever has the load between the fulcrum and force, and a third class lever places the force between the load and fulcrum. Examples like see-saws, wheelbarrows, and tweezers demonstrate each type of lever.
