Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around a point. When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will tend to move in the direction of the force is applied. This rotation multiplies your force and allows you to lift or move things that normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can be moved. This is called the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases as the lever gets 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 end of the lever.

Levers can produce different effects based on the method by which forces are applied. For example, a class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction when the force of effort is applied (like a totter-totter). If you push on the door's handle the force will create similar rotational effects to this.

This is what allows you to accomplish more in a shorter period of time, which is the reason why levers are frequently used for lifting heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo.
