Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the bar, the fulcrum will tend to turn in the direction the force is applied. This rotation multiplies the applied force and allows you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you were to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can be moved. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever is extended the greater the mechanical advantage. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point at which you apply force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of lever.
