What Does Lever Mean?

Lever is basically a product that originated from the concept of Physics. It is basically an object which is used with a fulcrum and a pivot. It is considered as a simple machine. It is usually used for lifting and carrying heavy objects.

- There are three basic forms of Lever such as:
First class Levers: Such as Seesaw, Bicycles, Scissors, Hand Trucks, Shoe horn etc.
- Second Class Levers: Such as Nut cracker, Push ups, Oars etc.

- Third Class Levers: Such as Bat for baseball, Hammer, Stapler etc.

Pull, push, lift, or carry something

A lever is a rigid bar free to turn over a fixed point called fulcrum

A lever refers to a simple device or machine. This device is made up of a rigid bar, which is turned at a certain point and is used to give out force, such as in lifting or moving weights from one side by putting force down on the other side. It is basically the handle that is used to project as well as operate complex mechanisms. It is simply a machine that is useful for the amplification of force that is physical in nature. The working of a lever is purely based on the laws of physics, such as Newton's laws of motion.

A lever is also metaphorically used to denote a way of achieving something. To move something or raise something in a similar way as a lever is also called as the act of levering.

A  lever is a rigid bar that turns on a support called fulcrum.
