Pivot diagram of a Class 1 lever
Different classes of levers are identified by the way the joint and muscles attached to the bone are arranged.
For the Class 1 lever the pivot lies between the effort and load. A see saw in a playground is an example of a Class 1 lever where the effort balances the load.
