A 2nd class lever has the load between the fulcrum and the effort force. Common examples are:

  1. wheel barrow
  2. hole puncher
  3. stapler
  4. wagon
  5. nutcracker
  6. bottle opener
  7. nail clippers
  8. pliers
  9. scissors
  10. lifting a nail
  11. can opener
  12. hammer
  13. paper cutter
  14. dolly
  15. trailer wrench
  16. Achilles tendon

A common example of a second class lever is a wheelbarrow, where the load is in the basin, the pivot being the wheel, and the effort being on the handles where the wheelbarrow is lifted up.

There are also second class levers in your body like the ankle.

AnswerTwo other examples of a second class lever are a car door and a bottle opener.

Wheelbarrow and bottle cap opener

The 2nd class lever is a force multiplier where the load lies between the fulcrum and effort. Examples are a hole puncher, wheelbarrow, and a nutcracker.

The examples of levers of second class are :--

  • A bottle opener

  • Orange squeezer

  • etc.

  • wheelbarrow

  • door

  • nutcracker

****Scissors are a first-class lever--not a second. The effort (your fingers) moves the fulcrum (the screw in the middle) to allow the tips to cut the load.
A 2nd class lever has the load between the fulcrum and the effort force, like a wheel barrow and 3 wring whole puncher.

First class lever: elbow (like a teeder-todder).

Second class lever: jaw (like nutcrackers).

Third class lever: knee (like a fishing pole or a broom).

Achilles tendon, which pushes pulls across the heel of the foot, I think; I'm not sure. Sorry if I'm not much help, but you could maybe...look it up yourself?
