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

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The greater the length of the lever, the larger the advantage in terms of mechanical. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of lever.

Levers can also have a variety of effects based on how the forces are applied.

The forces generated by pushing the handle of a front door will create rotational effects similar to those.
