Lever/Lever
A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around the point. When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum is likely to rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This rotation multiplies the force applied which allows you to lift or move something that would require more force if you were to apply it directly to the load.
The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the maximum movement. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever, the larger the mechanical advantage. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point at which you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum point and end of the lever.
Levers can also have different effects based on the way in which forces are applied. For instance the class 2 lever is inclined to turn in the opposite direction when the force of effort is applied (like a totter-totter). The forces created by pushing the handle of a front door will result in rotational effects similar to these.
However, levers don't create energy. They multiply the force by changing small amounts of effort applied over a lengthy distance into larger amounts of force applied over shorter distances. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport massive quantities of cargo.
