Plzzz answer correctly
PLzzz hurry this is a final I cant wait to be done with this class so I can graduate early

I'm sorry for the confusion. The advantage of a class 3 lever is that it increases the mechanical advantage compared with other levers.

The advantage of a class 3 lever is that it increases the mechanical advantage compared with other levers, decreases the distance over which force needs to be applied, decreases the amount of force that needs to be applied, and decreases the amount of work that needs to be done.

Wait, it can only be one answer

Thank you! :]

You're welcome! Good luck with your final!

The correct answer is: "It decreases the amount of force that needs to be applied."

A class 3 lever is a type of lever where the effort force is applied between the fulcrum and the load. In this type of lever, the distance between the effort force and the fulcrum is greater than the distance between the load and the fulcrum.

To determine the advantage of a class 3 lever, we can look at the ratio of the load force to the effort force, known as the mechanical advantage. In a class 3 lever, the mechanical advantage is always less than 1, meaning the load force is greater than the effort force.

This means that with a class 3 lever, you can apply less force to the effort arm to lift or move a heavier load. However, in order to do so, you need to apply the effort force over a longer distance, as the effort arm is longer than the load arm.

So, the advantage of a class 3 lever is that it decreases the amount of force that needs to be applied, but at the expense of increasing the distance over which the force needs to be applied.
