Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a fulcrum). When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will tend to move in the direction of the force is applied. This motion increases the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you tried to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum to the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever is able to move. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate the advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until the point at which you are applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the point at which you are applying the force. the lever.

Levers also have various effects based on the way in which forces are applied. For example the class 2 lever has a tendency to turn in the opposite direction as the effort force is applied (like a T-totter). The forces created by pushing on the handle of a front door can create rotational effects similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. They simply multiply the force you apply by making a small amount effort across a large distance into a greater amount of force that is applied over a smaller distance. This is what allows you to accomplish more in less time, and that is why levers are often used to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo.
