Lever/Lever
A lever is a solid bar pivoted around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply force to the end of the bar, 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 more force if you tried to apply directly to the load.
The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the maximum amount of movement. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever is extended more, the greater the mechanical advantage. You can calculate the advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point where 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 have different effects based on how the force is applied. A lever in class 2 for instance has a tendency of turning in the opposite direction when an force applied to it. If you push the door's handle and force it to open, the forces will cause similar rotational effects to this.
