Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move things 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 most effective movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate the mechanical advantage by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the place where you are applying force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of lever.

Levers also have various effects depending on how the forces are applied. A lever in class 2 for instance has a tendency of turning in the opposite direction once the effort force is applied. The forces generated when you push on the handle of a front door can produce rotational effects that are similar to those.

However, levers don't create energy. Levers multiply the force by changing 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 accomplish more in a shorter period of time, and it is the reason why levers are frequently employed to lift heavy objects or moving large quantities of cargo.
