Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will move in the direction of the force is applied. This rotation multiplies the applied force which allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you attempted to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum and the place where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can be moved. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases when the lever is extended. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the place where you are applying force by distance between fulcrum point and the end of lever.

For instance, a class 2 lever has a tendency to turn in the opposite direction as the effort force is applied (like a teeter-totter). The forces produced when you push on the handle of a front door will result in rotational effects similar to those.

However, levers don't create energy. They multiply the force by changing small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into larger amounts of force applied over shorter distances. This is what allows you to complete more work in a shorter amount of time, and that is the reason why levers are frequently used for lifting heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo. The lever principle is also used in everyday tools like crowbars. Hammer claws, fishing rods and your own legs when you stand on your car's hand brake.
