A hand cart is considered a second-class lever because the load (weight being carried) is situated between the effort (force applied by the person pushing or pulling the cart) and the fulcrum (axle or wheels of the cart). This configuration allows for a mechanical advantage, making it easier to lift and transport heavy objects compared to using just the person's own strength.
