Cyrtomium falcatum. 1  Aptly named, Japanese holly fern produces fronds that do indeed resemble holly leaves with their glossy, deep green leathery appearance. 2  It needs moist but well-drained soil in a protected location to thrive. 3  It also makes for a good houseplant in climates where it isn't hardy.
A baseball bat is a third-class lever because the fulcrum is on the  end of one side, the effect force is in the middle, and the  resistant force, the load, is at the top.
Like a class-2 lever, it has the fulcrum at one end. But the two forces switch around. Now you apply the force in the middle and the force you produce is at the opposite end. Class-3 levers are unlike other machines in that they reduce the force you apply, giving you much greater control.
