Lever/Lever

A lever is a rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force to the end of the bar, the fulcrum will rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This motion increases the force and allows you to lift or move things that normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum to the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can be moved. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage.
