A lever is a simple machine, usually consisting of a rigid bar or rod, designed to rotate about a fixed point called the fulcrum. The effect of any force applied to a lever is to rotate the lever about the fulcrum. The rotational force is in direct proportion to the distance between the fulcrum and the applied force. For example, a mass of 1 kg, tw...
