A lever is a solid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a the fulcrum). When you apply force towards the end, 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 would normally require more force to lift.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the most effective movement. This is known as the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases when the lever is extended. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the place where you are applying force by the distance between the fulcrum's point and the end of lever.

Levers can produce different effects based on how forces are applied. For example, a class 2 lever tends to rotate in the opposite direction as the force applied to it (like a totter-totter). The forces created when you push on the handle of a front door can produce rotational effects that are similar to those.

However, levers don't create energy.
