Description

A lever is a simple machine that consists of two material components and two work components. A solid rod is placed so that some part of it rests against the pivot point (fulcrum). The fulcrum remains in a stationary position, while a force is applied somewhere along the length of the rod. The rod then pivots around the fulcrum, exerting the output force on some sort of object that needs to be moved.
