Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will turn in the direction the force is applied. This rotates the force and allows you to lift or move things that would normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can be moved. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate the advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum until the point at which you are applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and the point at which you are applying the force. the lever.

Levers also have various effects based on how the forces are applied. A class 2 lever, for example has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction when the force of the effort is applied. If you push on the door handle and force it to open, the forces will cause rotational effects similar to this.

They simply multiply the force you apply by making a small amount effort applied over a long distance into a greater amount of force applied over a shorter distance.
