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