Lever Examples
Would a toilet lever be a type 3 lever? Any other examples of levers that could be incorporated would be greatly appreciated. I am coaching for the first time and engineering/physics is not my strong suit. Thanks!

Green is input, red is fulcrum, and output is the end of the lever. I think that a toilet lever is first, though.

Task 4.i 3rd class lever
The task states that the 3rd class lever can't touch an object at the beginning or end of the task.
I heard about the idea of the catapult but wouldn't the object touch the lever at the beginning of the task
Can you guys please clarify and give me ideas
