Lever/Lever
A lever is a solid bar that is pivotally positioned around a point (known as a fulcrum). When you apply a force at the end of the lever it is likely to cause it to turn the fulcrum in the direction of the force. This motion increases the force and lets you lift or move things that would otherwise require more force to lift.
The distance between the fulcrum and the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The more the lever is extended the greater the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing the distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum point and end of lever.
Levers can also have different effects depending on how the forces are applied. For example a lever of class 2 has a tendency to turn in the opposite direction as the force of effort is applied (like a teeter-totter). If you push the door handle, the forces will produce rotational effects similar to this.
However, levers don't create energy. They just multiply the force you exert by changing a small amount of effort across a large distance into a greater amount of force applied over a smaller distance. Levers are used to lift heavy objects and transport huge quantities of cargo.
