In third class levers effort P is in between the fulcrum F and the load W.

According to the principle of lever, W/P = effort arm/load arm, here effort arm is always less than load arm.Therefore more effort has to be applied to overcome a small load.

Example:- forearm used for lifting a load on the palm.

What class lever is a screw?

The biceps brachii acts as a class 3 lever to flex the arm. The deltoid also acts as a class 3 lever to abduct the arm, as does the teres major in adducting the arm. The triceps brachii, however, acts as a class 1 lever to extend the arm. In other words, when you're bending your arm or swinging it toward your body or away from your body, it's a class 3 lever. But if your arm is bent and you're straightening it, then your arm is a class 1 lever.

Is racket badminton third class lever?

No. The racket is an extension to the arm, and the fulcrum is either the wrist or the elbow, with the force being the muscle and the load being the racket/badminton. This makes it a first class lever, unless you are swinging on an inside curl, not a normal swing, in which case it would be a third class lever. The difference is biceps (third class) versus triceps (first class).
