Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will tend to rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This rotates the force and allows you to lift or move things that 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 referred to as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends more, the greater the mechanical advantage. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum point and end of the lever.
