Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will move in the direction of the force is applied. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you tried to apply it directly to the load.

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 more the lever extends the greater the mechanical advantage. You can determine the mechanical 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 can also have different 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 of the effort is applied. If you push on the door's handle the force will create rotational effects similar to this.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers increase the force by making small amounts of effort applied over a longer distance into larger amounts of force that are applied over shorter distances. This is what enables 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.
