Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force to the end of the lever it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum in the direction of the force. This rotation multiplies the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you were to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum to the point where you apply the force determines how far the lever is able to move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point where you are applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the end of the lever.
