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 tends to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the force. This motion increases the applied force, allowing you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you were to apply it directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the maximum movement. This is called the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever the greater the mechanical advantage. You can calculate 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.
