Third-class lever 3D model

In a third-class lever, input force finds itself positioned between output force and fulcrum, which plays a pivotal role in its functioning. Take for instance a baseball bat - the handle serves as the fulcrum, while you apply the input force somewhere in the middle. This force is then magnified at the opposite end of the bat where it interacts with the ball through the output forces. When it comes to Class Three Levers, there's a straightforward relationship between Force, Load, and Fulcrum. If the Force is closer to the Load, lifting becomes less strenuous due to mechanical advantage gained. Examples abound - consider shovels, fishing rods, human arms, legs, tweezers, and even ice tongs as instances of Class Three Levers. The design of a fishing rod exemplifies a perfect Case Study of Class Three Lever.
