Lever Principle

The Lever Principle is based on the idea that a lever allows you to move a heavy object with less force by balancing it around a fulcrum (pivot point). When you apply force at one end, the lever amplifies this force depending on the lengths of the arms on either side of the fulcrum. Longer arms on the force side increase leverage, making it easier to lift or move heavy objects with less effort. This principle explains how simple devices like seesaws or pliers work, by distributing force efficiently to achieve a mechanical advantage.
