- <h4>Classification of lever</h4>
27
- <p>
28
- Generally, a lever is classified by its ratio <var>i</var> which is the ratio
29
- between the driving flange position and the driven flange position. The type of lever is,
30
- then, given by the magnitude of <var>i</var> as follows:
31
- </p>
32
- <ul>
33
- <li>
34
- <var>i</var> < 0: <em>1st class lever</em>; the lever's pivot is
35
- located between the driving and the driven flange.
36
- </li>
37
- <li>
38
- <var>i</var> > 1: <em>2nd class lever</em>; the driven
39
- flange is located between the driving flange and the lever's pivot.
40
- </li>
41
- <li>
42
- 0 < <var>i</var> < 1: <em>3rd class lever</em>; the
43
- driving flange is located between the driven flange and the lever's pivot.
44
- </li>
45
- </ul>
46
- <p>
47
- Applying the abovementioned to this element, the parameter <code>ratio</code> can be considered equal
48
- to <var>i</var> only when <code>flange_a</code> is the driving flange.
