Lever/Lever
A lever is a rigid rod that pivots around an object. When you apply force to the end, the fulcrum will rotate in the direction that the force is applied. This rotation multiplies the force applied, allowing you to lift or move something that would require more force if you attempted to apply directly to the load.
The distance between the fulcrum of the lever and the point at which you apply force determines the maximum movement. This is referred to as the mechanical advantage. The advantage in mechanical terms increases as the lever gets extended. You can calculate the advantage of mechanical by dividing distance from fulcrum point to the point at which you are applying force by distance between the fulcrum point and end of the lever.
Levers can also have different effects depending on how the forces are applied. For example a lever of class 2 is inclined to turn in the opposite direction when the effort force is applied (like a T-totter). The forces generated when you push on the handle of a front door can produce rotational effects that are similar to those.
