  1. 1. CLASS The type of lever where the fulcrum is located between the effort and the load like a seesaw
  2. 5. The standard unit of measurement for Work
  3. 6. In physics this is calculated as Force multiplied by Distance
  4. 8. An inclined plane wrapped spirally around a central cylinder
  5. 12. The force you apply to a machine to make it do work
  6. 14. The percentage of input work that becomes useful output work which is always less than 100 percent due to friction
  7. 15. The object or weight that is being moved or lifted by the machine
  8. 16. A flat sloped surface that allows you to lift a heavy load with less force over a longer distance
  9. 17. The type of lever where the load is located between the fulcrum and the effort like a wheelbarrow
