Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the bar, the fulcrum will turn in the direction the force is applied. This motion increases the applied force which allows you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you attempted to apply it directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever is extended. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point at which you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the point at which you are applying the force. the lever.

Levers can also have a variety of effects based on the way in which forces are applied. A lever in class 2 for instance has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction when an force applied to it. If you press on the handle of a door the force will create the same rotational effects as this.

Levers multiply the force by converting small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into larger amounts of force that are applied over shorter distances.
