A. Fulcrum
B. Load
C. Effort
D. None of the above

Answer 1

Hint:We are asked which part of the lever is the part we use to move an object. First understand the meaning of lever and its use. Then check each option one by one by understanding their uses and select the correct answer.

Complete answer:
Given to find which part of the lever is the part we are trying to move.First let us know the meaning of lever. A lever can be defined as a rigid beam or bar to move something.Now let us check the options one by one.
Fulcrum:- Fulcrum is a point where the lever turns and known as fulcrum point. Therefore, option A is incorrect.
Load:- Load can be defined as the object which is required to be lifted or moved. Therefore option B is incorrect.
Effort:- Effort is the force applied at one end of the lever to move the object or the load. Therefore option C is correct.

Therefore, effort is used to move an object in case of lever.Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note: In the above question we have discussed the use of levers. The effort and load are applied on opposite sides of the beam. There are three types of lever, these are first class lever, second class lever and third class lever. Mostly, a lever is used to move or lift an object but sometimes it is also used to push against an object.
