Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force to the end of the lever it tends to rotate the fulcrum in the direction of the applied force. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the force applied, allowing you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you attempted 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 called the mechanical advantage. The advantage of mechanical force increases as the lever gets extended. You can determine the mechanical advantage by dividing the distance from the fulcrum to the point at which you're applying the force by the distance between the fulcrum and where you will end the lever.

Levers also have various effects based on the way in which forces are applied. For example a lever of class 2 is inclined to turn in the opposite direction as the force applied to it (like a T-totter). The forces generated when you push on the handle of a front door will produce rotational effects that are similar to those.
