2. Circle all of the elements that characterize a lever that operates at a mechanical disadvantage: Fast Slow Moves a large load over a small distance Moves a small load over a large distance Muscle force greater than the load Requires maximal shortening Requires minimal shortening Muscle force less than load moved 3.
