Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The pivot is at the elbow and the forearm acts as the lever arm. The biceps muscle provides the effort (force) and bends the forearm against the weight of the forearm and any weight that the hand might be holding. The load is further away from the pivot than the effort.
Detailed explanation-2: -First-class levers in the body occur when the pivot (joint) is located between the effort (muscles) and load (body weight).
