If L=load, F=fulcrum, and AF=applied force, what type of lever system is described as LAFF?
A) third-class lever system
B) second-class lever system
C) fourth-class lever system
D) first-class lever system
Applied Force
A force that is applied to an object by a person or another object.
Fulcrum
The fixed point around which a lever pivots, enabling the lever to lift or move loads with less effort.
Load
In physiology, the force or resistance that a muscle has to overcome during contraction; in engineering, the weight or force that a structure supports.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
In a third-class lever system, the applied force (AF) is between the load (L) and the fulcrum (F), which matches the description of LAFF.
