Lever mechanism | | ||||||||||
| | | |||||||||
| A lever is a straight object placed on a point or pivot. It can be used as a simple method of lifting a heavy object. The force placed on one end of the lever will transfer to lift the load. The longer the lever, the greater the distance the force has to travel and the heavier the load that can be lifted. A central pivot with equal weights acts as a balance. | |||||||||||
