    The document discusses levers, wheels and axles, and pulleys as simple machines. It provides examples and calculations for analyzing the mechanical advantage of a first class lever. Specifically, it defines a first class lever, shows a diagram of one, and provides formulas and work to calculate the ideal mechanical advantage, effort force needed to overcome a resistance force, actual mechanical advantage, and efficiency. Examples given of first class levers include a seesaw and a wheelbarrow.
