Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the lever it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum to the direction of the force. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you tried to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum and the place where you apply the force determines how far the lever can be moved. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever the greater the mechanical benefit. You can calculate the 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 end of the lever.

Levers can produce different effects based on how forces are applied. For example the class 2 lever has a tendency to turn in the opposite direction to when the force applied to it (like a teeter-totter). The forces produced by pushing the handle of a front door can create rotational effects similar to those.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers increase the force by making small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into greater amounts of force applied over shorter distances.
