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 bar, the fulcrum will turn in the direction the force is applied. This motion increases the force and allows you to lift or move things 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 most effective movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever is extended the greater the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by distance between fulcrum point and the end of the lever.

Levers can also have different effects depending on how the forces are applied. A class 2 lever, for example is prone to turning in the opposite direction once the effort force is applied. If you press on the door handle the force will create the same rotational effects as this.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers increase the force by converting small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into larger amounts of force applied over smaller distances. This is what enables you to do more work in a shorter amount of time, which is why levers are commonly used to lift heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo.
