Pick an answer
Correct!
Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.
Correct answer to question 16 (Mechanical Comprehension): Second class

The wheel is the fulcrum, the load sits in the barrow between wheel and handles, and the effort is at the handles. Load in the middle makes it second class, which always gives a mechanical advantage above one. There is no fourth class.
