In physical science, tension can be described as the motion that applies a pulling force that is transmitted axially through cables, chains, or string. On the other hand, compression is the application of balanced inward forces while extension is the application of balanced outward forces in the same axis through the object.

In a third class lever, the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is ____________ the distance from the load/resistance to the
padilas [110]
The complete sentence is:
In a third class lever, the distance from the effort to the fulcrum is SMALLER the distance from the load/resistance to the fulcrum.
In fact, in a third class lever, the fulcrum is on one side of the effort and the load/resistance is on the other side, so the effort is located somewhere between the two of them. This means that the distance effort-fulcrum is smaller than the distance load-fulcrum.
