and g = 9.8 N/kg.
Questions
1.
How did the work done on the system compare to the change in potential energy of the system?
2.
How does a lever make it easier to perform work, such as raising a heavy load? Explain in terms of conserva-
tion of energy.
Extension
The type of lever that has the fulcrum between the load (hanging mass) and the applied force (Spring Scale) is
called a Class I Lever. A Class II Lever has the load between the fulcrum and the applied force, and the Class III
lever has the applied force between the fulcrum and the load.
