Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply a force to the end of the lever, it will tend to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the force applied. This rotates the force and allows you to lift or move things that would normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum to the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever can be moved. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends the greater the mechanical benefit. You can calculate the advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point where 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 produce different effects depending on the way forces are applied. A lever of class 2, for example has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction once the force applied to it. The forces generated by pushing on the handle of a front door will result in rotational effects similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers multiply the force by changing small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into larger amounts of force applied over shorter distances. This is what enables you to do more work in less time, and it is why levers are commonly employed to lift heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo. This is also the principle behind levers found in many everyday tools such as crowbars and fishing rods, hammer claws and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your car.
