Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum will tend to move in the direction of the force is applied. This rotation multiplies the applied force and allows you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you attempted to apply directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum and the place where you apply the force determines how far the lever can move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum's point and the end of lever.

Levers can produce different effects based on the method by which forces are applied. A lever of class 2 for instance is prone to rotating in the opposite direction when an effort force is applied. If you press on the door handle the force will create similar rotational effects to this.
