A lever is a rigid bar that pivots around a central point (known as a Fulcrum). When you apply force towards the end, the fulcrum is likely to rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This rotates the fulcrum, increasing the force applied and allows you to lift or move something that would require a greater amount of force if you were to apply it directly to the load.

The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point where you apply force determines the maximum amount of movement. This is called the mechanical advantage. The mechanical advantage increases as the lever is extended. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing distance from the fulcrum point to the point you are applying force by the distance between fulcrum point and the end of lever.
