Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply a force to the end of the lever it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum in the direction of the force. This motion increases the force and allows you to lift or move objects that would otherwise require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the maximum amount of movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases when the lever is extended. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until 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 have a variety of effects based on the method by which the force is applied. A lever in class 2 for instance is prone to turning in the opposite direction when the force applied to it. If you push on the door's handle, the forces will produce rotational effects similar to this.

However, levers don't create energy. They just multiply the force you exert by converting a small amount of effort applied over a long distance into a greater amount of force that is applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and move large amounts of cargo.
