### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Concept of a Lever**: A lever is a simple machine that consists of a rigid bar that can rotate around a fixed point called the fulcrum. It is used to lift or move loads with less effort. 2. **Identifying Components of a Lever**: In a lever system, there are three main components: - **Load (F2)**: The weight or resistance that needs to be moved. ...
