Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force to the end of the bar, the fulcrum will turn in the direction the force is applied. This rotates the force and lets you lift or move objects that normally require more force to lift.

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 more the lever is extended, the larger the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum point and end of lever.

If you press on the handle of a door and force it to open, the forces will cause the same rotational effects as this.
