What are you guys using for fulcrums? I can't decide what's dependable and what fits.

does the second class lever have to have weights on it?

I'm not sure what you mean by "second class lever", but whatever you're doing sounds fine!

Sorry, i meant the second class lever in the compound lever task (if you're using a second class lever in it)

It is not required to, but you can.

can a lever be attached to a string, which is then attached to a pulley? would this count as a parallel task?

No it wouldn't. Parallel is two different streams of action happening at once.
