e) Fulcrum Class III lever d

Q4. Name the simple machine being used:

a) Class I lever
b) Class I lever
c) Class II lever
d) Class I lever

b) A sewing machine is a complex machine which is based on different simple

machines like lever, pulley, wheel and axle etc.

c) Yes it is possible if the light weight girl sits near one end and the heavy weight
