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 in the direction of the applied force. This motion increases the force and allows you to lift or move objects that 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 known as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever extends, the larger the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the place where you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum's point and the end of the lever.
Levers can produce different effects based on the method by which the force is applied. For example the class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction when the force applied to it (like a T-totter). The forces generated by pushing on the handle of a front door can result in rotational effects similar to these.
However, levers don't create energy. Levers increase the force by converting small amounts of effort applied over a lengthy distance into larger amounts of force applied over shorter distances. This is what enables you to accomplish more in less time, and it is why levers are often employed to lift heavy objects or moving large amounts of cargo. This is also the basis behind levers found in many everyday tools such as crowbars and fishing rods, hammer claws and even your legs when you sit on the hand brake of your vehicle.
