Lever/Lever

A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around a point. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum is likely to rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the force applied and allows 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 to the point where you apply the force determines the distance the lever can move. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate mechanical advantage by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point at which you are applying force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of lever.

Levers can have a variety of effects based on how forces are applied. A lever of class 2 for instance has a tendency of rotating in the opposite direction once the effort force is applied. If you press on the door's handle the force will create rotational effects similar to this.
