Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around a point. When you apply force to the end of the lever it will tend to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the applied force. This rotation multiplies your force and allows you to lift or move objects that would 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 amount of movement. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to 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 based on the way in which forces are applied. A class 2 lever for instance has a tendency of turning in the opposite direction once the force applied to it. If you press on the door handle the force will create similar rotational effects to this.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers increase the force by making 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 do more work in a shorter period of time, and that is why levers are often employed to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo. This is also the basis behind the levers that are found in many everyday tools such as crowbars and fishing rods, claws for hammers and even your own legs when you stand on the hand brake of your vehicle.
