OCR: SECOND-CLASS LEVERS LOAD EFFORT FULCRUM Second-class levers have the fulcrum at one end of the bar and the effort at the other end. The load acts between the fulcrum and the effort, so the effort is reduced and the distance moved by the LIFT load is decreased. A bottle opener is an example of a second-class lever.
