Correct Answer: second order lever


Solution : The correct option is the second order lever.

A hinged door would be a class 2 lever. The fulcrum (pivot point) of a class 2 lever is placed between the effort (force applied) and the load (resistance). In the instance of a hinged door, the fulcrum is the hinge, the effort is the force provided by pushing or pulling the door handle, and the load is the weight of the door itself.
