Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the lever it tends to rotate the fulcrum in the direction of the force applied. This motion increases the force and allows you to lift or move things that normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum to the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever is able to move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever the greater the mechanical advantage. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point at which you apply force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of lever.

Levers can also have a variety of effects based on how the forces are applied. A class 2 lever for instance is prone to rotating in the opposite direction when the force of the effort is applied. The forces produced by pushing on the handle of a front door will produce rotational effects that are similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. They multiply the force by changing small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into larger amounts of force applied over smaller distances.
