Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force to the end of the lever, it tends to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the force applied. This rotation multiplies the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you tried to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the maximum movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends, the larger the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until the point at which you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the end of the lever.

Levers also have various effects depending on how the forces are applied. A lever of class 2, for example is prone to rotating in the opposite direction once the effort force is applied. The forces produced when you push on the handle of a front door will create rotational effects similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. They just multiply the force you exert by making a small amount effort across a large distance into a larger amount of force applied over a shorter distance.
