Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply a force at the end of the lever, it will tend to rotate the fulcrum in the direction of the applied force. 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 of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the maximum movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum's point and the end of the lever.

Levers can have different effects based on the method by which the force is applied. A lever of class 2 for instance, has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction when an force applied to it. The forces produced by pushing on the handle of a front door will result in rotational effects similar to those.

However, levers don't create energy. They simply multiply the force you exert by changing a small amount of effort across a large distance into a larger amount of force applied over a shorter distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport large amounts of cargo. This is also the reason behind the levers you find in a variety of everyday tools such as crowbars and fishing rods, claws for hammers and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your vehicle.
