Lever/Lever

A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply a force to the end of the lever, it will tend to rotate the fulcrum to the direction of the force. This rotation multiplies your force and lets you lift or move objects that would otherwise require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever is able to move. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases when the lever is extended. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point where you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the point at which you are applying the force. the lever.

Levers can produce different effects based on the method by which the force is applied. For example, a class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction as the effort force is applied (like a T-totter). If you push on the door's handle the force will create similar rotational effects to this.

However, levers don't create energy. They simply increase the force you exert by changing a small amount of effort across a large distance into a greater amount of force applied over a smaller distance.
