Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the lever, it will tend to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the force. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move objects that would otherwise 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 referred to as the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases when the lever is extended. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point at which you are applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.
