Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around a point. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will turn in the direction the force is applied. 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 of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the maximum movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever more, the greater the mechanical benefit. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of the lever.

Levers can also have a variety of effects depending on how the forces are applied. For instance the class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction as the force applied to it (like a T-totter). The forces created by pushing the handle of a front door can create rotational effects similar to these.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers multiply the force by changing small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into greater amounts of force that are applied over shorter distances. This is what allows you to complete more work in a shorter amount of time, and it is the reason why levers are frequently employed to lift heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo. The principle of the lever is also utilized in everyday tools like crowbars. Hammer claws fishing rods, hammer claws and even your own legs, when you stand on the hand brake of your car.
